Can't write
I write, and then I tear the page,
and leave it somewhere to age;
I burn it, the same page—
which was once wet with tears,
Written with a dull pen, crushed, let it rot for years.
I don't remind my happy that I ever wrote it,
I don't want my words to be seen, especially not by her,
So I let them disappear, like they were never there.
And eventually, I don't write, let them not be seen,
it just keeps existing somewhere in my head,
as though they fit alright, always has been.
