You might
only be
passing
through but
I live this
twenty four seven
and built it all
from the ground up
you
have only
scratched my
surface
I am
so much more
than this embodiment
stranded
here on an
island of
myself
and while
you think getting to know
me
is just a brief vacation
I am hoping
it might become
our Bermuda triangle
and that you
will remain
lost
with me
forever
