A Phantom

Folder: 
January 2011

I'm a secret, unseen by your emotions,
buried in your covers, we go through the motions,
trump the thought of any promotions,
just a tiny island surrounded by vast oceans.

Always another fish in the sea,
just because i reel them in doesn't mean that they're free,
just because she can hear me,
doesn't mean she used all her senses, as if she could see me.

I'm a master at disguises,
pocket full of quarters ready to win any and all prizes,
hard to prepare for any of her surprises,
easy to go along with my day when i am who she despises.

Always dreaming but never reaching,
driving too fast, foot off the gas with tires screeching,
if i had to dye to hair you i'd quickly start bleaching,
if i had any pope immediately i'd start preaching,
I'm always thinking of you.
