Unpublishable

Standard

We been together

My mind

My thoughts

Open for you

No secrets

For you know

Every vulnerability

Thank you

For your discretion

When understanding

I am not able to

Know your thoughts

And for knowing

What pops in the mind

Is not always acted on

Just as you don’t write

All you your thoughts

For this or that reason

You know I never

Had the choice

But you did

So you saved me

From embarrassment

Just as I would you

From publishing

The things you thought

Unpublishable

We have been together

My mind

My thoughts

Open for you

No secrets

For you know

Every vulnerability

I Thank you

For your discretion

When understanding

I am not able to

Know your thoughts

And for knowing

What pops in the mind

Is not always acted on

Just as you don’t write

All you your thoughts

For this or that reason

Whether inappropriate

Or they downright don’t

Make sense

You know I never

Had the choice

But you did

So you saved me

From embarrassment

Just as I would you

From publishing

The things you thought

Simply were

Huh what was I

Thinking moments

Or mixed flubs

Grammar mistakes or

What ever the reason

Unpublishable

The finished draft

Does look publishable
