love me if you dare

a less-than-sincere note to critics
maybe you think you know me
and maybe you do
but if you read this and find
me a little strange
or even frightening,
then i guess you never knew me
welcome to the real world

Wednesday, May 4

in the shadows

you brushed past me
again.

strangely enough,
sometimes it seems as if we could almost
stop and talk as if
we knew each other
and yet

we continue walking
past each other, the formidable silence
a barrier too great for me to cross.

am i nothing but
a shadow to you? a girl
with a sad countenance and dark skin
whose eyes constantly seek yours.

i look past them
at you -

strolling past, your voice lingering; too cool to care,
i watch you beneath lowered lashes.

your chatter reminds me
of my own.
narcissm? -

you glance my way
but i guess
it must be a figment of my
overreactive imagination

'cos you never looked at me
before.
it can't happen.
not now.

not

ever.

yours truly
