Childish Games
Ready or not, away you run.
Where'd you go?
I hope I can find you.
You still play this childish games;
You hide, I seek.
Sometimes you're gone for days--
But why?
You give me no warning.
I don't see the fun.
I weep and wail;
I fear you're lost forever.
I have never found you.
You just come back with no answers.
I need answers.
Give me a hint.
Marco--
Is it worth it?
Do you feel you've won?
But you always give me a rematch
As if to anguish me further. ...

Grand Finale
You want me. You're hard.
All right. You're funny.
Come on in. Come closer, then.
I'll give you a production and finish like no other.
You're in command.
I'll do what you say. For now.
You like it fast? So did he.
I'll give you fast.
Rip off my clothes, does it matter if they tatter?
Kiss me, not on the lips.
Search me,
Explore me.
It's all the same.
Don't look into my eyes.
Forget the tenderness.
Bite me,...

I've Lost the Words
I've lost the words.
Following the routine has led to technicalities over emotional responses--
Confidence, but limitations.
Is climbing a mountain or trekking a plateau more fulfilling?
"But the mountain is steep and causes pain, too," they tell me.
What about a leap of faith?
Trust...
I've done what you said,
But I knew all along.
What I did not expect was the seemingly irreversible damage.
"Ah, but damage towards the damage!"
It's all the same!
What was was not cleaned up,
Merely doused with...

Limbo
Everything seems just a little too right.
What was before is all a blur.
Shouldn't there be relishing in this joy?
accept the good? let the pain go?
There is this nagging pull--
This quiet murmur in the subconscious
That is a reminder of what was.
Slight yearning troubles the mind.
Isn't this earnest, unforced happiness?
There is love from every angle,
No self-restraint,
No paranoia,
No tension
And yet...
Everything seems just a little too right,
Like a porcelain doll.
All pieces are in conjunction,
But...

Bring--Me--Back
Bring--
Bring me--
Bring me back.
I am slowly slipping away.
Don't let me go.
It's suddenly not just you closing the blinds.
You put me in darkness for so long--
I need light--
I'm losing strength--
Help--
Bring me back.
How about a bargain?
C'mon--
You can't possibly say no.
Bring me back,
And you'll never go away.
I won't be forgotten.
I will never die.
Let's quit this tango,
And let the beautiful dance begin.
You know who will lead
In order to make art bloom.

Thou Needn't Fret
I'll tell you what you want to hear.
I understand what's right.
But don't you see my side's okay?
It's not just black and white.
Please don't worry when I'm far,
I'll figure what to do.
I need to find a stable balance
Of appeasing both me and you.
I hope you know that at this time,
It may not all be clear.
Know my actions are not in spite,
But merely eliminating my own fear.
It's going to happen.
I know that it will.
Just please know through all this, ...

Internal Debate
After such lack of control,
I have gained a potential for loss.
I can only hope it lasts.
Night appeared and then shut its door,
And my intake was zero
Just like before.
I can again be my own hero.
Now what has opened is a realm of possibilities.
Maybe I can go back
While still going forward.
This is the chance of redemption.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What has opened is doomed for failure.
Going forward,
I may go back.
Then this vicious cycle while imprison me again.

A solution just leads to a new problem.
It isn't a perfect world.

Don't Touch Me
Don't touch me.
Please.
And please stop staring.
I don't like when people look at me.
It isn't personal to you.
It's personal to me.
I feel dirty.
I'm the shameful one.
I don't want to touch you.
I don't want to like it.
It isn't right to like it.
I love you, I do,
But sometimes I think I shouldn't.
Please, don't get too close.
I want my space.
Please stop.
Don't you get it?
I'm not allowed to enjoy this.
I don't mind seeing you,
But please don't see me.

For the Benefit of Others
Try as she may,
It just wouldn't go away.
She said it's here to stay.
If not prominent now, then another day.
He tried to save her,
And it nearly gave her
A reason to savor
The freedom that'd oft enslave her.
But who can compete with such a disease?
It won't simply flee after one heartfelt, "Please?"
Much more than a prison, much less than a tease--
Never is something one can appease.
She pledged to never again tell him,
So that from her life she'd never expel him.
