Things Unseen

her - hiding

I make no promises,

I respond quickly

ad scowl

as I hit send,

realizing the expectant smile

that has spread

across my face without

my consent.

Perhaps, I gave you

a hard time.

I am hiding the biggest

secret of all and once we

are face to face not

even your darkness will

be able to keep it

under wraps.

I tap away at a few

more keys and

erase before I hit send.

I can't chicken out now, can I?

I'll wear the new dress

mom bought for me my

birthday. She said

it fits me just right

an I'll steal a

flower from the

neighbour's yard to set the scene.

Though if I scrap it,

maybe there's a chance

you won't notice me.
