Dear Stranger (I Hate Your Stupid Face)

  • I know your name.
  • I know your face. 
  • I kept you close.
    Just in case. 
  • I love your voice.
  • I love your hair.
  • I love your lashes.
    I know they’re there.
  • I felt your heart
  • and pock-marked skin.
  • I felt a wall.
    It wasn’t thin.
  • I was brave
  • and somewhat strong.
  • We didn’t share.
    So I wrote songs.
  • I painted you.
  • I painted me.
  • I let you in.
    Too soon, it seems.
  • I hate your name.
  • I hate your face.
  • Those both were lies.
    But I need space.
