Profile avatar image for semikolon
semikolon in Poetry & Free Verse

A synonym.

All I wanted was to be

A word in your dictionary -

To have a place and meaning,

Be one of a kind.

I wanted you to get to know me,

Analyse me,

Understand me,

Use me.

I dreamt about you

Being proud to know me

And spreading me

Among your friends.

I wanted to be born

As a thought in your head.

I wished to die as a whisper

Slipped between your lips.

But you left me unspoken,

You left me unthought.

Like an unborn child,

Who never sees the light.

And I can't stop asking myself:

What was wrong about me?

Why did you prefer to use

A synonym?
