Playing hide and seek with emotions. Trying to outwit the red flags and premonitions. Knowing the stakes, you try to hide. Why won’t you take credit for your part of the ride?
Your life ended and mine never started. I’m sure realizing that smarted. Endlessly scraping the bottom of the barrel. Always dressing yourself in others’ apparel.
Craving the love and avoiding the hate. You created a life that’s just second rate. Carving yourself, constantly under duress. Not realizing your heart needed rest.
You followed the sun when you needed shade. Never understanding you’d gotten played. They wanted your kindness and innate skill. Turns out they didn’t mind what they had to kill.
Now I play hide and seek with your emotions. Following love letters to dead premonitions. Tracking the clues to old wounds that lied. I understand why you hid after this ride.
