"My Life Was So Much Simpler When I Could Just Disappear"



This poem yet again started a little but explicit, but it draws me in to what else he has to say. I believe this is an earlier poem, not just because of his appearance, but because the way he is speaking. I feel as though he is testing the waters in what may and may not work. I like the slowing down of certain words after a fast phrase, "I don't want to turn this into poetry, but...you're so beautiful flowers turn their heads to smell you." is an example of this. I found myself wishing that this would become a cliche like so that men would use it on me just to make me feel good inside, however cliches are never romantic and through time they just make people want to roll their eyes, kind of like when guys look at me and say "you have beautiful eyes" and I look at them and smile and say "why don't you try using a line someone hasn't used on me before" then proceed to walk away. Much of this poem was very fast, but I was still able to follow what he was saying, unlike previous poems I listened to. I found myself yet again wishing that this poem was written just for me, butterflies in my stomach fluttering all the way past my heart and making me light headed as he sweeps me off my feet. Then the poem ends and I remember that it was just another fantasy.
