Hide and seek, I take a peek, you come so near then disappear. I see your smile but in just a while I'll hide away for another day. the game I play is truth and dare, I've worn it out like an old worn rag. I don't know you, you don't know me, I wont tell but I actually care. It's a shallow life and a shallow dream, alluded hope, illusion love, you're not actually there- My million pretty faces on an empty fake pedestal. You weave through my life like a dream turned nightmare turned dream turned nightmare. Time is so ****** short to waste it on ******** Cant you see I'm trying to find you? How high must I build my castle? How is it that you're so illusive and far away- but your scent fills the room and chokes me with sweetness? I hate this incessant soppiness! Argh! My crazy obsession I try to lie and hide so well- But it's written on my face in flashing neon colours, desperation is so ******* unattractive! Where in heavens name can I find myself a cheap plastic heart? That doesn't breathe or feel the need to heal? If you want money I'll buy you. If you want freedom I'll lie to you. If you want a bicycle- well I'm not really into cycling but I'll see what i can do. I see so much fear in your eyes- relationships shipwrecked- and now you've made your mind up about the facts of life. You've become the rock of Gibraltar- tough as nails. You're scary- ready to weather any storms- lonely- but I still know you're soft inside... You're just choosing the lesser of two evils- well for now at least. I know you still cry for your dreams, stories that make you long, but then you remember. Hey! I get just as **** scared. I mean, who burns themselves time and time and time again without changing their formulas on life? I do.

Monolgue for Nobody (written after 10 years of celibacy)
