Theme: Love, Desire, Hope

The persona is fascinated by her lover, but ironically does not know much about his 'persona'. Her interest is highly heightened as a result. She remains hopeful, takes what she can get and gives all of herself.


Knowing You

You've tried to hide
those brown eyes

You often keep them closed

And there is a scar
within your right brow

What happened? god-he-knows

I've tried to count the freckles
But I'm sure I have missed some

And after so long
I still don't know the sweetness of your tongue

I know its moisture though
those nights you kissed my breast

And those same nights when I felt low
I'd inhale your Marijuana breath

I often want to stroke you hair
But that desire is denied
Because you always wear headgear
And there's a reason why

That reason of course I do not know
it seems your name is as far as you'll go
Your life, your age that's a secret too
I hope one day I'll get to know you

Skin to Skin
You know me
Cuz I let you in
On everything

I hope on day I'll get to know you

We lay together
You smile to yourself
Withholding your thoughts
I hope one day I'll get to know YOU
