It Can Wait

Poet_Jessica's picture

Self-preservation
Is first on my list
I won't tell him
I'd first eat my own fist.

This one can wait.

He likes her.

I guess I'll have to
Survive or something.

I think he knew,
Anyways.

I won't dwell on
Unpleasant memories.

This one can wait.

I wish I could melt.
I couldn't be felt.
I'd dissolve on the veldt.

I couldn't be felt...

This one can wait.

Self-preservation is first.
I'll leave the rest to wait.
Things that I don't want to think of.
Oops.
A little late.

Listen to the music;
A peaceful melody.
I'll give you an option
Not a guarantee.

This one can wait.
