Game

A merry-go-around, that's what it is
This chase we engage, mindlessly, pathetically
Hopelessly... You and I,
Now, that is food for thought, is it not?

On first glance,
You would perch on one of those dull, ugly wooden horses
At times throwing me coy looks, as I gaze up at you longingly,
Declaring hate and muttering profanities

On second glance,
I think I'd rather starve
This insatiable hunger - contempt - ruthlessness
I'd lick the side of your jaw and watch you shiver,
The hazy moonbeam reflecting the danse macabre in your eyes
And once again, I worship in morbid fascination,
Your eyes, the green, green eyes I liken to jade -
Shattered pieces of the deepest shades
So impossibly exquisite, so excruciatingly beautiful

When the hint of sun peaks into the heavily draped room,
You'd sneak out of bed, and I'd pretend to sleep on
The rules of the game -
Put on a poker face and we'd go back pretending,
Pretending each other is mere oxygen,
So worthless, so...

You'd never notice how I wince when I hurt,
And I'd never care how you ache when you bleed.
