Enigma
Here I dance,
forever doomed to wander around,
falling a little in love all the time.
My love,
the strange kind,
that wakes you up in the night
worried about the unknown , the unseen.
for a person who you barely know,
but who touches some chord within.
Thus is my life,
small victories and huge defeats
that send them away smiling
and leaves me with another crack in my heart.
You'd think by now I would have gotten
accustomed to it.
But each strike is as the first,
and each dream is as hopeful as the other.
It make me sick sometimes.
