Hide and Seek
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
