It is in the way you say
and do not say things that matters
most. I can read past slogans
see through air, calm down
in seconds. Explode over
charades, and win song titles
but I am not like you
and you are not like me.
This is what makes us so
compatible. Poetry has
fangs, soft skin, tainted
words. Books have happy
endings and you could
be in love with someone
who can love you so
much more. I will not
get offended or turn on the lights
before it is pitch dark.
Enormous swirls of regret
in bright colours follow me
(this is perfect for a girl like me).
It will always be hopeless
and I will always be a romantic.
You may set me afire
but then I breathe again. Remember
that you are not even with me
yet you are.
Heart pounding love
slow gasps of air
deep sighs of beauty
I lay all day waiting
for something to happen
and nothing ever does.
I shut my mouth
and win trivia games.
I hate wicked games
of love and deceit
and yet find myself
the main character
in my own drama.
Do whatever you want
I will not question your motives.
In essence, you should
run as far away from
me as you possibly could.
Please do,
the time is Now.
