Give me truth
Or lie to me,
But never leave me hanging.
Speak in riddles if you must,
Yell, cry,
Vent if you feel like you need to,
But I bid you break the silence.
There's so much to see out there
And I'm already looking into
The mouths of lions.
I'm smoldering fire
And you smother my flames
With the soles of your feet.
Reason and remorse
Have abandoned your veins from the minute
You saw me.
Never took no for an answer,
No questions asked.
Even in a torment of panic
You saw me,
My body a child's to your unsuspecting eyes.
