Could You Be
Who tried to kill the poetry in you
tell me who child
who tried to silence the starling
who tried to choke the starlight
I’ll split them in two
was it your nemesis of the week
your ex, your boss, your job
could it be you
tell me who child
tell me who
I don’t know why you hold back
there’s a story inside you
has a Cheshire stolen your pen
did someone deep freeze your heart
tell me who child
tell me who
could it be

I really like this! I, especially, like that you point out that sometimes it’s us who hold ourselves back too. Beautiful piece 🙂
Great poem!
that ending is a cliffhanger! very engaging verse- not a moment unengaged.
