All You'll (Never) Know

Poem by Jessica Costello

---

My new vibe (a feeling)
(that) you never saw
before (you missed the boat)

Maybe I was wrong (to try)
But (again) I meant what I said
Though I knew (would waste my time)
you were a wall I couldn’t break
​
I can’t tell you (why) I’m writing (this)
It’s (too much)
to keep (a conversation) going
