Hide and Seek

So you’re on the one side and I am on the other....and we’re both looking in
    Wondering just how to find our way back to begin
         We’ve been casually captive, captively caged, conditioned by this charade
Finalising even formalising the field trip that starts the end

And even those silences, they no longer speak
    Because the noise once meant there was something I should hear
         But this tongue no longer teases -  no longer talks
And my ears deafened by simple defeat

And the cablewire that was once our connection
    Serenades no signal – finds no frequency
         So now silence simply stalks me and no longer strangles me
yet in all this I find no peace – rather only pieces of me
