She is the masked figure behind your emotion.
She is the burn you get from a scorching hot oven,
She is the cool, clean water you run over your singed flesh.
She could be your lover, she could be a hater.
She reads you like a book and tries to rewrite you in someone new, but comes running back because she hasn't memorized you completely yet.
She is an angel, a devil.
She watches you from the shadows, your best friend, your worst enemy.
She knows all your secrets, all your lies. You know her, don’t you? Think. You know her.
Beautiful! Very descriptive!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous poem! I love the imagery, and my favorite part is "comes running back because she hasn't memorized you completely yet." This will leave me thinking for a long time.
ReplyDeleteThese sound like song lyrics! Love them and I can see them put to music.
