Broken Promises

 
I decided to answer
lest you forget me.
So as not to get lost among the meshes
of your disappearance.

I decided to say I don't know.
I decided to say I don't know.
I decided to say I don't know.

I decided to answer
so that you don't forget me.
So that you have no excuse.
So that you don't apologize.

I decided to say what I don't know.
I decided to say what I don't know.
I decided to say what I don't know.

(From one year to another.)

I have accumulated things to say
and nothing said about me
what I wanted to say.

You had no idea what I meant.
You had no idea what I wanted.
You simply had no idea

For a long time things just said
what we didn't try to say.
And nothing said about me
what I wanted to say.

I decided to silence the silence!
