Mystery Man 


Hello, mystery man 
I wonder what you are beneath that tan 
Reveal the stare your curly locks are masking
I see my reflection and watch you watching me through your glass rims 

Excuse me,
but I wonder if you talk at all 
why don't you talk to me 
and tell me what you feel?

I'm peering at you in a room full of people 
my atmosphere is filled with a mysterious magic 
you flick your hair and I hope to get a glimpse of your eyes
you peek through your veil of disguise 

I can hear your voice
when you're not speaking 
I feel the magic through my bones 
you're the one I was seeking 

Hello, mystery man
I wonder if you have a plan 
Expose the urge your tamed soul is covering
Let me see what you are hiding in my vicinity.

With palms salty with sweat, they walked hand-in-hand in a park full of people with mouths full of empty words. And then like the fate of two freshly stubbed cigarettes, afire and affright, they lay in bed, turned heads; she could never make peace with the stench of whiskey on his breath.

Everything I Now Am

I am now a bundle a bundle of empty goodbyes and unused condoms I am remnants of lovers who didn't kiss me goodbye I am now the songs I didn't sing for the ones who pleaded me I am now the tears that hide under my pillows till the alarm clock screams I am the the calls I never returned and the flights I took to all the cities to save a love from drowning in alcohol I am the cheesecakes I baked to win back the love I lost to insecurity through the stomachs of his friends I am the lies I lied to the last page of my notebooks all because my heart couldn't decide which part of my body needed more blood. I am them all, I am all my mistakes, I am a bundle a bundle waiting to be undone and re-distributed to those who should've loved me better.
