Whatever it Was

I don’t want the words

They’re yours now

Use them

Overuse them

Go tell yourself you’re telling the story

Go tell yourself a lot of things

I’ll just bark and whistle

I’ll tell mine with simple sounds

Go and kill what you think you cherish

Go and cherish whatever it was

I’ll be somewhere over here with mine
