Amelia by Noah Janus

Careful!
Be a buddy and hold your tongue tonight.
If you don’t wanna force my fist to strike,
lock your chin.
Hush now.
There are things that are kinder left unsaid.
If you go any further you’ll be dead.
Save your skin.

Beware the words you choose.
I can’t afford to lose
Amelia.

Spare me.
After all who are you to throw a stone?
Don’t rip up what is left of our home.
Let me hide.
Think now!
You can see with your mind and with your heart.
There’s no point in you tearing us apart.
Take a ride.

Don’t hint or speak in clues.
I can’t afford to lose
Amelia.


She’s the only thing that has kept me going all these years.
She’s the only thing that I’ve managed to hold on to, in my life,
my beautiful dutiful wife.

(She’s not heard about it.)
Beware the words you choose,
(Breathe no word about it.)
(Tie your laces)
I can’t afford to lose
(and leave no traces.)
Amelia.

I can’t afford to lose her.
I can’t afford to lose her.
I can’t afford to lose her.
