A poem you should not read

Feedback Please

I wrote you a poem you shouldn’t read
It’s a page full of thoughts you’ll never need
I mean it all, but you should not believe
I’ve written anything that you should stop to read
Like words from a song I hum, but never sing
The poem is glass diamonds set to copper rings
Full of beautiful and futile things
That are never worth the sighs or tears they bring
Sincere lies that prove that words aren’t deeds
Fresh soil tilled for expired seeds
Everything you want, but do not need
Made into a poem you should not read
You can see it clearly now with both eyes shut
Words that want but never give enough
Verses that you’ll love but, you can’t ever trust
About golden things that always seem to rust
I wrote you a poem you shouldn’t read
thoughts that warm your heart and burn your peace
I mean it all but you you should not believe
I’ve written anything that you should stop to read
