The Poet and the Ghost

I promised and never broke one
I never hurt you, come on
Hurt and disrate
Came with a band-aid

just for you
Not caring I bled or limped
Nothing would make me stop
I saw for myself
The last time we met and

before you even said
I knew my silence hurt you

You struggled to come through
I stayed in waiting
not to control, avenge or pain you
Only to know, grow and do

what felt right to you
My poet, my ghost
The vow remains
I love you

The poet And the ghost (2)

You tried to save me with a band-aid
while you were bleeding out alone.
You speak of your pain as if mine isn't real,
retreating inside yourself
thinking your silence was a shield.

But we are not characters in a movie, my love.
There is no glory in this distance.
Walking away 'for my own good'
doesn't make you a hero,

it just makes us both lonely.

Your silence didn't protect me;
it is the very thing that breaks me.
I don't need protection from your darkness.
I would rather walk with you while you limp
than stand here perfectly safe,
loving a memory.

So please, don't choose the ghost.
Don't choose the noble exit.
Come back.
Bring your wounds, bring your scars,
bring the silence if you must—
but STAY.
If the vow remains, make it breathe again.
I am still here...

Waiting for the man, not the ghost.

21st Century Poet

noun. Writes fully sick poetry with no value or significant theme

When your bars are long and barely rhyme but you on the dime. Dat dere 21st century poet.

21st century poet

A nerdacious attempt to spit bars whilst their vocabulary is most likely limited to irrational numbers, functions, binary/hex etc. Their verses are either simple with no thematic value or ten tiers beyond humility, the typical result of logic dominant brain activity. Bars barely rhyme, but on the dime.

"Do you like nerds?"
"It's the shit, kids releasing their grip on ordinary satchels of sherbet and that jank jaw dropped in awe"
"mate, you're a 21st Century Poet"

rei da cocada preta

Rei da cocada preta no Brasil é o cara que tem "poder e dinheiro". Ou pelo menos, o cara diz que tem.

Sendo assim, é dessa forma que ele é chamado na gíria.

Seu amigo chegou aqui se sentindo o Rei da cocada preta.

Like the poet said

A phrase used to jokily articulate or emphasize something you said, which was most definitely not said, ever, by a poet.

Friends talking:
Friend 1: "yeah dude, it's gonna be fkn LIT, like the poet said
Friend 2: "what poet said that?"
Friend 1: "common dude, it's a saying"
Both of them then burst out in joyful laughter
