I'll take your silence as refusal, by Icarus

Icarus

I'll take your silence as refusal

To my favorite person

I don’t know

if you read these things

But if you do

I’ll take your silence

as a

refusal

I won’t go there anymore

The place is now yours

If I am wrong just respond

And tell me so

(2014)

Just know that you have been lied to. By other than me.

The catalyst

How was it possible? Why on earth Did it never happen Before? How did you change

Carnal knowledge

Everyone thinks they know what is best. The path they have chosen Must fit all. Knowledge of Right and wrong

You made me young

You made me young Took away all my excuses You brought me to life Demolished ever inhibition You taught me to love

I have been proud

I have been proud I have considered myself wise I have thought that I was Far above The failures of others

Letting go

Letting go Is not a choice That I can just make There are no simple steps I can mechanically perform

What you were

You were more Than yourself For me You were A reason

Lost my thought

I’ve lost it again The words were just there Right on the tip Of my mind Now they’ve descended

What have you done?

I’m not sure whether I love or ha… The me I am because of you You reminded me How good it felt To feel without reserve

The Callous

It didn’t happen all at once The stress of impact And the heat of friction Combined Has a natural result

Today

Today is the last day I am going to do this to myself The last day I will hold on to any hope Today is the last day

What am I hoping for?

One more meeting Just one more Rendezvous And the courage To speak up

Men who go home to wives who don't care

The million incandescent bulbs that line Gibbs St from Barrett Place to Main go out just after midnight. Stragg… smokers sit or stand in the alley

The prodigal's dilemma

Too long trapped Hopeless and caged Owned and enraged I saw a way out Extinguished my apathy

Back turned

I never told you a lie I was honest from the start You knew about my wife You knew who I was You accepted the facts
