If you only knew

If you only knew,

The scribbles on the wall

Drawn with a thought so small;

I chant, I recant,

Ever so distracted,

But never too demented;

If looks could kill,

My heart has died,

Flipped over, dried,

Propped up on the side,

Overlooked, stepped aside;

Droning, rezoning,

Mindlessly toning;

Scribbles are confusing,

But the only way to being;

When the time isn't right,

Guard your heart real tight;

No one can hear,

But it's all on the wall,

Read, chant,

Do you even know? 

Sound of brown leaves,

She breathes,

Nails on the hood,

He broods;

What are you writing?

I can't read.

If you only knew.

If you only knew.
