Declared Poem by Erika Conti

and i lay down aching
on a side
on my lonely bed
whispering to you
although you cannot hear me
the softest words
spring sincere
from my lips
i close my eyes
and see frames of you now
as if you were in front of me
thinking of your words
promptly deleted
of my hopes
wiped
erased
you declared your love to me
and didn't say a word about me
you declared your love to me
and didn't say a word about me
and
and i declared my love to you
and didn't say a word about you
i declared my love to you
and didn't say a word about you
