Rhyme No More

Give up.
Growth, faith, trust, control,
emotion, attention, fear, joy,
pain, pleasure, sure, risk.
Will to live, fear of death.
Illusion of loving and being loved.
Being the safe place,
fighting the tough fight.
Sympathy, empathy
Love, letters, butterflies,
Hopes, dreams, banknotes.
Stay numb, pretentious dumb,
Art, lore, chirp, cheep
Book, ink, dance, sing
Sky, storm, rain, stain
Quiet, wait, tick – tock
Greet him as an old mate.
