Lillies and Ghosts

Scarlett Johansson

Hi.

I saw you from across the room,

And I kinda thought you were cute.

I heard you through walls of poetry,

And caves of voices,

And I guess I'm starstruck.

Do you think I'm a fool?

You look like Scarlett Johansson

I wanted to die.

But you,

You just laughed.

And, I know you have a boyfriend,

I know you're so much older,

But give me a chance?

Darling, you're daydream-worthy,

Here I was thinking I was a robot,

But you made me oh so human.

Do you think I'm dumb?

Because I'm crying,

At your smile,

And laughing,

At my scraped fingers.

I thought I'd done something wrong.

You?

There's a fluttering there,

A heart attack?

My limbs feel dysfunctional.

Have I a heart?

You must think I'm dumb.

I don't know anything about you,

But damn those icy eyes,

Or are they the sky?

So give me a chance?
