Petty Girls

Pretty smiles, petty girls. Fun laughter, fake people.
Pretend to care, pity me. False friendship, keep it.
Listen closely, lies whispered. Good times, gossip loudly.
People come and go. Drop anyone you want.
Really love, really lying. Silly moments, staged memories.
Put on a good show. Two faces are too few.
Shoulder to cry on, stab in the back. Open arms, open mouth.
Young at heart, never grow up. Boasting in immaturity.
Pretty smiles, petty girls.


For H.G.

Poetry Analysis

Don't put words to what I left unsaid.
Don't define what I left abstract.
Don't make concrete what I left ambiguous.
Don't voice feelings I left silent.
You don't know my thoughts.
You don't understand my mind.
Don't take the soul out of my words.
Don't analyze what I meant to be enjoyed.
You can't capture poetry in a formula.
You can't scrutinize what is meant to be felt.
Don't pick apart what I put together.
Don't put words to what I left unsaid.
