Hiding in Verse

There was a time,
When I thought
To hide behind rhyme.
I exaggerated,
Fantasised,
Then realised
I could tell the truth.
I thought I was loveless
So I wrote a love song.
I had lots of friends
But pretended to be alone.

Then you met me;
I discovered you.
I let you dig
And look at what you found.
I’m now accountable,
No longer hiding in verse.

I wrote in harmless fun,
But pretended
To write in truth.
Poetry never reflected,
It was just a suit,
Put on to look good,
Put on to disguise.
Since your interest,
I’ve found what I
Thought I didn’t have,
And it’s myself
Presented in truth.

When you met me;
I discovered you.
I let you dig
And look at what you found.
I’m now accountable,
No longer hiding in verse.

I’ve made up emotions,
Presented false lives;
I’d faked love,
And pretended to cry.
I had all them in truth,
But found them in lies,
But that changed when,
Looking into your eyes,
You looked through mine.

Who!?

I look at a bird,
a girl smiles at me.

I write out my notes,
a girl talks on her phone.

a bird looks at me,
and so does a girl.

a door makes a noise,
i look up at a girl.

I write my notes,
a girl sits nearby.

a man walks past talking,
a girl walks past smiling.

the girl smiles at me,
I am confused because I'm sure I don't know her but she's hanging round and keeps smiling and, now look, she even just waved, who is she? I hope I don't know her, because that would be embarrassing. maybe I've done something that makes her think i'm interested but I don't think I did. Ihope she's just some random and will stop confusing me and she's just got up and left...

phew.
