To the Stars.

1. You have all my words

I'll choose not to see you

So you can see millions of others

I grit my teeth behind my lips as I smile and pretend

That those words are the truths that come from my heart

Those words which I put in this poem

Are words that are beautifully strangely hollow

Lies that I've repeated over and over again

Until I can feel those words

Those lies

Rotting in my mouth

The words that soothes my chest

Whenever I remember I can't see you

And yes there will be no 'yets'

I will choose not to see you

I will choose to make myself blind

And once again walk this road with knives purposely left behind

I will choose to be lost once again

And now that I am blind

Still, my love, do not forget

I hope to do this for you

For your happiness and your innocence

For your smiles and your laughs

For your safety and your peace

That I won't be able to give to you

This is for you.

And I promise to love only you.

You have my word, love.

You have all my words.
