NaPoWriMo 2013 – poem number 5 about whether to say something or not.

I WISH YOU HADN’T TOLD ME THAT

Sometimes it’s hard to forget

What you already know to be

Those imps and demons hiding

They aint about to set you free

Sometimes it’s just better not

To know anything much at all

I think I’d be far better off

On the other side of that wall

I wish you hadn’t told me that

Can’t get it out of my mind

Feels like you’ve tattooed my brain

It’s unfair, nasty and unkind

Next time you hear such a thing

Please, please keep it to yourself

I didn’t really want to know

Wish you’d left Krampus on the shelf!
