Her name was Mystery She loved poetry, so I thought I’d write her some Hangnails always lived on the sides of her thumbs The same thumbs she used to type up her future book ideas with Music flowed through her body like waves in the ocean She fell in love with characters she’ll never meet But she had so much hope Optimistic, she was She danced with the hillsides of mountains And taught me about aliens She swore she was from Elsewhere I guess Mystery is trapped inside a fake reality A world she created herself Mystery loved movies She told me she wanted to be in some, one day But I told her she didn’t need to be fictional And she said “Maybe I already am”
