Engraced's profile

 I want to be just a number on your list, One of the many women who found their way Into the warm folds of your bed as the Morning light drifted through a white-curtained void. I want to be a name you failed to remember And a face that you can't recall with all The vividness that love brings a mind's eye. I want to be that personal stranger you forgot. I want to be that dream that fades as quickly As fog on a bright summer day, burning up before The first cars blaze their paths to caree...

I got a call today. The kind you never expect to get on a cold morning when you’re still on the first cup of tea and the first bagel slice. This was even before I could turn the music up loud and the lights down low. It was my father’s voice, whispery and low, “I’m dying baby-girl.” I thought it a joke. Sick and immature.

I've found, though, that through This one-sided life, I've begun To see all the details that I Would have missed in full saturation. But then, something changed. Every once in a while, som...

I'm six pairs of the same cut, color, and style jeans, Two weeks of long, lazy vacation And short five minute showers. I look great in cheap sunglasses, I'm "Let's grab a smoky-treat" "Take me to a movie." I'm "I don't care what you wear." Now and then, I'm moody. I'm a Toyota with the music too loud, With my brown hair streaming out the window. I'm a soft place to land, And a good feeling within. I'm a warm conversation That none would miss for anything. I'm a fierce fighter when I'm mad, A ...
