the woman


she is a woman
I have known women
she looks at me
weighing the potential
I look
you turn away
I turn
you look at me
we both know these rules
you come close
very close
you bump into me
and say sorry
I speak
you listen
you take the voice
and you imagine tomorrow
but you can't know me
or my journey
nobody can
for there are elements in me
that will make nothing
in your science
where you see light
I feel only the dark
we all look
we all speak without words
we are all predictable
I will smile at you
and I will play by these rules
but you will never know my heart
