Poem # 3

aMUSEd

So freely you would
tell me how you feel
meanwhile I am taught
what is honest
does not always mean is real
So easily you could
say the goodbyes
and bid me the farewells
I wish I didn't feel so lost

You give me no warnings
predictions only make me appear naive
The scent of your skin
the danger of your presence
draws me closer and lures me in
Why do I allow you to steal
everything that I have
over and over again

I try to put together your puzzle
childishly wishing to solve the mystery
indifferently you laugh
at my spontaneous theories

Is it your carelessness
that you always seem to be at ease
causes me to think
that I am being used
Sometimes I am dying to know
for me do you too discard you soul

With you I'm so unafraid to die
With you I have no sense of time

I find it kind of hard to tell you
I find it kind of hard to take
that when You look at the world
All I'm looking at is you
