I have a language with nothing to say.
I see darkness within the day.
I have a guitar; it has no strings.
Broken objects with missing things.

I have knowledge with nothing to know,
Giving love that will soon let go.
Life doesn't always end in death.
Should I go on, complete the rest?

I have a future, without a past.
I won the race, I finished last.
Fixing situations that did not break
A night of sleeping, I shall not wake.

I'm alive with nothing to live for,
Having battles, without a war.
We can't tell the truth if there are no lies.
We all have wings but cannot fly.

I will cry and not show tears
Gaining experience without long years.
I was a child not full of wonder,
Scared of not lightning, but the thunder.

I'm falling, but I won't hit the ground.
You're screaming but I can't hear a sound.
Once in a lifetime and there's a second chance.
A room filled with music is not the place to dance.

I made a word that has no letters,
It's like a bird without its feathers.
I've written this down, Rhythm and Rhyme
I have forever, but it's not enough time.

Words are failing, I forgot to mention.
I look for answers for I not know the question.
I search my mind for something I hadn't lost
I stole the price of life, when it doesn't have a cost.


The author's comments:
It started with a game, naming objects such as a guitar (as in the poem) without part of the object (the strings) that is important to that object.
