I sit utop the grassy hill

and pick silently at my jeans

I wish for you to come at my own will

But maybe you won't, it seems.

Finally, you come for me,

An empty smile on your face.

You look much too pale, I see

And just as soft as lace

Without a word I touch your cheek

And it ruins under my hands

You are not the one I seek

This was not according to my plans.

I pull at your skin,

Seeing shadows underneath.

I gasp against the cool winter wind,

And force myself to breathe.

I frantically rip your skin away,

Looking for the real you.

I suddenly realise I shoul stay at bay,

And I should have taken the clue.

For it has always been you under the paper,

Hiding yourself...

....From me?

And Then Suddenly I Felt Sad For No Reason At AllWhere stories live. Discover now
