Mysterious
Interesting
Quiet
Close, yet so distant.
Who are you?
Open your doors
or a window
Let me look at you.
I wanna see past your eyes
into your mind
I wanna see past your chest
into your heart.
I think you’re afraid
to get too close
But alas, you still want closeness.
Are you as conflicted as I am?
What do you find your identity in?
Is it in what you do?
In who you love?
Or maybe who loves you?
I suppose it’s selfish of me
to want to be the one you let in.
But you spark my curious soul.
Who are you, mystery boy?
I want to read you like my favorite book
but thats not who you are
and I don’t have one.
You are a complicated poem,
with layers upon layers of meaning.
I can only take you in a bit at a time
so that’s what I’ll do.
Or would have done
If only you would have let me.
Now I’m sitting here
reading the words that came from my heart
thinking
maybe God knows better than me
when it comes to choosing a counterpart.
