I Am Good At Nothing
You say, ‘ I’m good at nothing!’
Yes, I’m good at nothing,
I know you do not mean it when you say it
It’s your frustration, your anger, and let us admit it
— your love, when you say it.
You know? You are true,
I am good at nothing,
Not good enough even to love you more,
To know you more, to spend time with you more,
And let me say it again,
I am not good at all these things.
But, my dear love!
I am good at forgetting myself,
Good at remembering you more,
Good at being silent when you are angry
And good at telling all my miserable stories to the stars,
Who are far away and only twinkles at me.
