Lost in Translation
A poem
Somewhere along the way
Words got lost in translation
Somewhere along the way
We both lost patience
An invasion
Of the impatient
Hurling words back and forth
Trembling lips mumble stay
Fighting to keep the tears at bay
It’d be easier if there was just one dragon to slay
Somewhere along the way
The love train left the station
Trying to burn the memories of us — cremation
Feeling lower than the basement
Time steady wasting
Running away from our problems quicker than tax evasion
Somewhere along the way
Words got lost in translation
Love lost to frustration
The house we built–
Got destroyed all the way down to the foundation
We couldn’t last for duration

This poem was inspired by Sevyn Streeter’s song “Translation”. I hope you enjoyed this piece and I hope you have a great day!
“If we both shut up
We won’t be so lost in translation
If we just light up we won’t be so lost in translation
Translation
I don’t want to give you up for nothing
I don’t want to give you up for no one
All I want to do is just love you better
Better, baby, love you better
You know I’m the one, why you fronting?
If you just listen when I talk
If you just be quiet when I tell you what I need from you
We will do much better”
