You look at me like no other man has,
sometimes I wonder if I’ll ruin you.
Other times,
I know you would fix me.
This persona I give to others
I never want to give to you
because I know
you would rather see me.
I want nothing
but to stare at your smile
until my eyes rot.
With you
I feel real.

Ok - I will smile at you - through gritted teeth?! lol.
'This persona
I give to other's, I never
want to give: to you'
(dear Poet, I read your poetry
like I smell - sip
my days, first cup of simmering coffee
my anticipation, just
won't let me wait those few minutes
to let it cool
it's like I need that scolding - raw
first experience, every time...)
hope you never stop writing and sharing
for you have a most precious, poetic talent
That is the ultimate compliment!! Also very ironic since I read your comments while sipping my morning coffee haha. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read them!
There is something special here.
"This persona I give to others
I never want to give to you
because I know
you would rather see me".
Love that last line: "With you I feel real." I feel the people we love the most are the people we can feel safe and secure expressing ourselves around without any restraint or inhibition.
