Final performance of the night at the Living Poet Society event at The Studio Cafe. I tried to write a poem about you by Autumn Echo I tried to write a poem about you. I mean, I tore open my chest like my chest was the ground, and the answer was some kind of buried treasure. I tried to find the words, like the words were oxygen and I was, I was gasping for breath. I searched for them, like the words were the light, and I was just stumbling through the darkness. But I found nothing. I tried to write a poem about you I would lie my head on my pillow, I would treat the halo of my hair like the seams of a dream catcher I would treat my words like dreams and I would beckon the night. I tried to write a poem about you. I tried too hard. I ripped pieces of my mind away, rearrange and assemble them like they were words clipped from a newspaper and if…if I could just find the right angle, maybe I could find the words. But I couldn’t. I thought it was my fault. I convinced myself that wells run dry it was just a drought I was so thirsty for something that would say how I feel about you. Then I realized that you can’t find the words for feelings that aren’t there. This is the day I stopped blaming myself for feeling empty. I taught myself to except that even in a world full of inspiration and beautiful souls that are the sparks, your mind is an ember. I have watched an ember glow. Things will force the light out of it. Things will flicker, but not everything will force a flame. In the end, you were just there. We might have been sitting around our fire, just watching it go out. We might have always been gasping for air and stumbling through the night but I never noticed. I will never make that mistake again. I made this decision, I promised myself I would never go through my life without a glowing mind without something to say without love that sparks and things that move me. That’s it. I crave that which moves me and maybe you never did. I tried to write a poem about you. But I shouldnt have to try.
