conversation with myself

There are questions without answers

That will never get a response 

I think about sometimes 

Revisiting my past life 


Once a person is dead

Conversation ends 

Becoming one-sided silence

Keeping them with us


I tend to keep quiet anyway

Feeling no need for small talk

Except for a few chosen friends

And family connections


There are questions I do not ask 

In social situations being polite 

What interests me is too personal 

For most people to abide


The back and forth of conversation 

Exchanging impersonal information 

That communication has value

But it leaves me wanting 


To have a heart to heart talk

Hearing how you really feel about your life 

What you hope and what you fear

That's what I most want to know 


And if you ask me the same 

This is what I might say 

I’m trying to be a good person

Learning from my mistakes
