Why do we have to suffer
For the parasites to survive
There's so little left for me
They took it away and ate me alive
Now my life is almost over
But before I fade away
I promise to get you back
And make you pay someday

I can still taste your sweetness on my lips
In the dark I think of you
Secretly I crave for you
I'm full of intense longing

But as I turn on the lights
As reality comes into view
You must be buried at the back of my mind
You shall not be seen

In silence my heart breaks


@


I should like to know what's on your mind
It tickles me to imagine what I can find


@


Our gazes locked
Our souls met
And these daydreams turned to dust


@


Must you disappear through the night
And leave the world less bright?

Don't hate me for the truth
It's nobody's fault
I never expected it to amuse you
Nor did I intend it to injure you
It's an accident of nature
Fortunate or not? It's up to you
But you're not amused
And I am injured
And each glance you give me
Inflicts a fresh wound
My flesh burns and my pride's stung
I wonder how sharp is your tongue?
Tell me what's in your brain
I'm not a mind reader
Do you want me or not?
Your smile is a code I cannot decipher.
