This is a world
of ink and
imagination.
A world in which
I can love
the faraway girl
and the golden eyes
without feeling
broken.
--
My name is--
But that's not important.
I like to--
We'll skip that, too.
Really,
I'm just a girl.
Average,
maybe a little bit
bitter,
like a black coffee on
a winter day.
--
This is what it's come to.
Stealing kisses behind bookshelves,
reassuring touches, whispered words.
Put on the mask
Keep up the act.
Behind closed doors,
you blossom, petals unfolding,
shedding clothes and pressing
sticky bodies together.
Heated hands,
kisses like being drunk.
