Unspoken Word Poetry
Prince Carter and Laureate
..
First stanza-Laureate
Second-Prince Carter
..
We sit in silence, racking up invisible mileage
Nothing to say through the wall that divides us
Barricades in the way, nothing left to say
Waiting for her spirit to whisk her away
The emotions I’m feeling, a knot in my stomach
Happiness within reach, but I’m forbidden to touch it
Words clogged it hurts now, my voice is long lost
Cause what I want to say conflicts with all my thoughts
What happened to the past, I know it’s history
Thought we were meant to be, you were so good to me
With each passing day, you’re drifting further away
I guess we just ran out of positive things to say
I watched you disappear, and look up to the sky
Contemplating why, our paths couldn’t collide
Tell me what’s next, remind me what was said
I have inner beauty only because you’re always in my head
..
we're both playing our part, neither speaking our hearts
within reach of departing but it smarts to use logic in love
love that lost to lust but the erotic is erroding in elation
passion suppressed, on my chest there isn't fashioned an S
you once took it, now im back to catching my breath
conversing in silence, unfamiliar and hot surrounding the room
my head is pounding, this change is pain, ain't no way around it
every word unsaid secures the mortar to the wall between us
i can barely see who you once were on my side of this imaginary divide..
i can no longer strive for our future, we're walking paths alone
side by side with eyes astray, we can't coincide this way
but dare i say or speak on why my heart stings
it once rang music but you've stretched too far my heartstrings
and now it seems all i can do is see you in memories
these eyes can't find or see, a time when you were only mine to keep
now time has seen to it that we've lost our steam, slowing our pace
we've stopped growing and the pain is deep
baby...things have changed and we both know it
but all we can do is sit in silence, as perfect unspoken word poets...
