I don't care
That you hurt me
And as profoundly as
I've known you
I still don't
Understand you when
You don't want me to
I could claim
To know you best
At best I may
Know you better
Than your other pawns
When you pull my strings
It's because I let you
What a show we've
Put on, always leaving
Breadcrumbs wherever we go
I don't care if I don't
Find my way back anymore
That we've had to borrow time
And carve our validity
Into pockets of space
Only kiss in the dark
I love you as if
I could.
