masked ball

the fact that you have to turn
from here and there
and i go along with it
the denial
a twisted truth
and i go along with it
the change of heart
then posing cold ignorance
all along claiming
to have a grasp
on all of it
every word every sigh
every last thought
to avoid a moment of truth
to avoid conquering this battle
to avoid explanations
we go around dancing circles
everywhere at once
in this turning testing time
in your fear to trust
anyone anything anytime
even yourself.
and i know that i give the proper
responses, the proper denials,
everything to keep your paranoia
from peaking *pop* into abyss
because i would do
everything in my power
to always keep you believing
that you are in control.
but i am wrong treating you
as a child.  giving you
everything you desire.
so that i am more than a muse
a toy toyed toying
i am more than your heart
i am more than just a ghost
i am not merely an illusion
or a test... am I?
i am something you have
hidden from yourself...
yet you find it again and again
and destroy it.
what am i?  a real answer is
deserving at this point...
don't you agree?  who am i?
not me.  no, just turn the other
way... running running...
this madness of your mind
meaning well but finding harm...
i have seen with my own eyes,
your face change, your smile and eyes
your body and glance, all in a days time
you shapeshift, you become overcome
by something beyond your own control
so in the change, often brief, often not
you must control every last detail
around you, in you, about you, anywhere
in sight.  i was never out to ruin you.
i was here to show you
some light.  but you prefer, it is now
CLEAR - to hide in the darkness
of your own demise.
this is the last time my love.
and i don't use the endearment lightly,
this is the absolute last time
that i will continue chasing colors
for your fantastical delight...
giving you every last inch of
meaning to make sense of it all...
you need to find your voice with me
truly.  you need to find a way,
without the cursing backstabbing
trailing tagging posting and stalking.
why are you so afraid that i won't
understand.  i obviously understood
a long time ago.  is everything
programmed agenda for you?
well dearest, just don't doubt
it is my heart that is pure
with the intention to stand by your
side, wherever you may hide...
to save you?  NO, you don't want
saving.  to love you?  NO, you
don't want good 'ol simple
country lov'n.  invent the answer.
find it.  i will be waiting and
listening intently.  waiting for
your own childish boyish mind
to grow up already.  yes, you
did recently refer to me as a
child... i ranted, but then,
i swallowed my pride.. because
if you can't see beyond the mask,
beyond the "rhetoric", beyond
the logic, beyond anything you
can understand, then i can't
force you to OPEN YOUR EYES.

it has always been right here
before you.  and you always
run to your old guise.  your
room(s) of lies.

i should be the one forgiving
you, where is my apology?

you just have to know that i know.
perhaps you've met your match.

you make up stories as you go along
here and there and everywhere...

where's the truth?

well, i know the truth, the
magician down the street
whispered in my ear a deal.

you won't be sorry, you won't
be angry, you will just be
the you, the other you, the
other other other you...
and it goes on lost in the maze
with a map.
