I wanna be that guy
Hair long
Amber Eyes narrow
Soft and hard
And mellow and sweet
Full of fury,
Red blooded,
Dark red meat.
I wanna be that guy
Smart and shy and full of passion
So full of dreams, so full of life.
It would be normal to stroll around like him, and wink at the one I really adore,
Because he is so good at it without trying,
Because of his swagger
His style
His brains
I want that
I want all of it
I want to be him,
Born so tall and
So wild and angry and free.
The mirror can lie
The reflection is real
But it’s turned upside down
In my heart I’m that guy
In my heart I’m him,
But he’s not real
I wrote him up with a loving hand,
I am him,
Split in half
A split mirror
A split between female/male dreams
I long to be him,
And myself
But I’m feeling that miserable hot sun
Shine everywhere like it was bragging about something loudly to me
The Reflection of my shadowy self is there, I see it growing and shrinking
And pulsing
Gray mindless light.
And the loneliness hits my chest,
Empty yellow wide open

I love your sadness. It is like a light rain, it does not cause pain, only memories and sadness about the past and the unfulfilled. Your poems do not hurt, they are like paintings or photos from the past. Thank you!
