Taking Over ©

Looking back. You're looking back on me.  

Keep your silence, even in the night.
Flawless, under scrutiny and light.

Clawing and scratching your way to the center of them . .
while you're
looking down, you're looking down on me!

I keep denying, do not wish to see . .
that you're looking back,
Don't assume affection comes for free.
You're second-guessing, slowly killing me

Breaking and bruising my very deepest dreams.
yet you're
taking over, taking over me.

Slowly inspiring
inevitable mutiny.
