Second Nature

In every single one of my daydreams

I am famous.

Everyone loves me and

I'm admired for the person

I am not.

-

I always imagine

I'm successful,

but I still get accused at parties of being single

and I can't drain the blood from my cheeks

fast enough to reassure you.

-

In every single one of my daydreams

you're there

and you're famous too.

We hold hands and have matching tattoos

of the ninth planet.

-

I always imagine

we're a secret

and you're wearing my sweatshirt

when you tell me you can't do this anymore.

-

In reality, my skin is bare

and you don't even know me.
