Hello, I’m nobody.
Please don’t pay attention to me,
In fact you can see right through me.
I didn’t prepare for your prying eyes,
Didn’t prepare to be under scrutiny.
Hello, I’m a paradox.
I’m a solid human who doesn’t want to be seen,
A creature with a soul that doesn’t want to love,
A mortal creature that never wants to die,
A human and nobody.
Hello, I didn’t really want to talk to you
Even though I have been watching
From across the room.
Wasn’t prepared to talk,
Even though my mouth was open.
Hello.
My love is a trick cigarette,
It wants to burn, but refuses to light.
Hello, I mean, goodbye.
My smile is a dare to come closer,
But my hands haven’t made a necklace for you,
Yet.
I try not to choke you,
But my words are shoving themselves
Down
Your
Throat
Hello.
I’m nobody.
But how can I be no one when “I” means I exist?
But I don’t want to, could I just be
You.
Your words,
Your colors ,
Careened into my dreams.
A woven reality which I never wanted to leave.
Hello.
Goodbye.
Because as soon as I edge fugitively into your life I am
Leaving.
Hello.
I’m nobody.
You won’t remember me
Tomorrow morning
When you
Finally
Wake
Up.
Could I be nobody for everybody?
Hello.
You don’t remember me,
Just a foggy memory
Like a ship that’s lost at sea
But I used to be in love with you.
To you I am nobody.
Which means you remember.
Hello.
