You look at me and all you see

Brown hair, brown eyes

A smile purchased

to cover the cries

 

You stare at me

and you wonder

Why is that girl like stagnate water?

*shudder  

 

But did you really look

Did you even try

I can always tell

when you lie

 

Now let's play a game called hide & seek

You count 1...2...3

Open your eyes

Now come find me

 

Game over

You think you've won

But darling, it's only

just begun

 

Don't look behind trees

Or under rocks

My secrets hide

Behind closed locks

 

Dive deep into my soul

Swim through my heart

Feel my heart-strings pull

Watch them tear apart

 

Oh shame,

you must be out of luck

I can tell you're lost

And certainly stuck

 

A hint?

You say

A clue for you?

I suppose a small one I could do

 

Read my journals

You'll find me there

Naked words

Exposed and bare

 

Whispers of people

Places

And things

My heart left out on my sleeve

 

The emotions are pure

Raw and real

I promise that

I'll make you feel

 

Let me light a match

Inside your veins

Maybe then

you'll feel my pain

 

The pages burn

your fingertips

The words lay sour

on your lips

 

Images of love and lust

Uncovered

Unspoken

Beneath the dust

 

I'll take you to a whole new place

I'll show you me

I'm more than just  

an average face

 

I'll make your head spin

I'll make your heart pound

Hurry up

I'm ready to be found
