About the Poem
This poem is written in memory of a few guys from my past. I am a very easy person with whom to speak. It is amazing to me how others feel very close to me in a matter of a week. As you will see from the poem, I feel guiltily for the way I treated them. I was picky, and I admit, sometimes I enjoyed the game. Two years after dumping one- - for the second time, he sent me an entire booklet of poems he had written about me. They were- - at first- - his ecstatic poems. Then, of course, they were extremely depressing. This is a cruel poem, and only those closest to me would believe I could write this. Most of my work is about how I have been hurt.

| Come and get me See me shimmer and dance? I'm just ahead If you drive fast enough You can have me my secrets, my soul No, drive harder, give me more I'm just ahead If you reveal yourself You can have me my secrets, my soul You drove right over me Did my light mislead you? I'm just ahead If you follow the lines You can have me my secrets, my soul Please, try again you can do it I'm just ahead If you believe in me You can have me my secrets, my soul You missed again Are you that naive? I'm always just ahead Shimmering and dancing You can never have me my secrets, my soul. |
