Boy you say you love me
you chase after me
your arms outstretched
i am not within your reach
Beautiful Boy
you promised me the world
certainty in your every word
dark eyes Blazing
do you realise you long for a ghost?
oh dear Boy
you edge closer to me
i feel your heat on my shoulder
i move away
you think I'm being shy
i am not
Boy yes
i smile and laugh
But your mind plays tricks
you see this as my lust
my want
and you fall deeper
delusional boy
you do not love me
you do not know me
i am not apart of the world like you
you walk in the light and are loved
and I have never once been seen
i am in Bed the smell of peppermint tea and paper
at the Beach at night the waves silvery and wild
the corners of my mind enclose me
there my world lives
Brilliant, dark and safe
the person you see
the person you love
she is not real
she is the love interest to your own story
dazzling smile and a skip in her step
a Backstory of safety and nurture
pure and Beautiful
untouched
undamaged
so Boy
when you tell me you love me
i sink
deeper and deeper away
for I am a stranger
and you have fallen for another
so Boy
when i say i don't love you
Believe me
Because i am not yours
not every girl is like your mother
kind hearted and humble
forgiving of your missteps
your close minded views
i don't have to play a role in your story boy
if a girl says doesn't want you
she is not being shy or coy
she doesn't want you
Believe me boy
not everyone does
