Show/Tell

give/take

By Brenton FPublished 7 months ago 1 min read

show me what i can’t be

and i’ll tell you what i have been

show me what i can’t see

and i’ll tell you what i have seen

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>

tell me all your faded tales

and i’ll show you some of mine

show me all my jaded fails

and i’ll tell you not everything is fine

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>

show me all the lights

and i’ll tell you of the spark

show me all the many nights

and i’ll tell you of the dark

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>

tell me things i don’t want to believe

and i’ll show you my darkest fears

show me then this aimless desire

and i’ll tell you of wasted tears
