THREE THINGS

I read a book 
Called Tell Me Three Things
Kind of a weird concept 
A girl gets an email
From a secret admirer 
Who won't tell her who he is 
They email back and forth 
And play this game 
Called three things 
Where every day 
They tell each other three things 
About themselves
Until they decide to meet up
Turns out he's not a serial killer 
He's exactly who he says he is 
A secret admirer 
Then they fall in love. 


If it happened in real life
He would be a serial killer.
But I'd probably fall for him anyway
And tell him my three things 
Again
And again 
And again
Until he knew my life story 
And height
And weight 
And social security number 
And bank account information 
Until I was powerless against him.

In real life
He's a serial killer.

It was a good book anyway.

    you are not you. 

    you are what i think
    alas i refuse to admit i am wrong.
    what can i say?
    i love this version of you 
    he is kind and sweet and loving 
    so very beautiful.
  • Slippery slope

    The way is harsh
    The light is dim
    And we forget to celebrate love
    Instead condemning faultless faults and forged sins
    We sit in silence
    Festering in our lack of empathy 
    Or we stand and scream because still we are not heard
