retreat to beat the heat
returning to those who hurt
reliving a past of misery
to escape a future of pain
one more sad feeling to gain
happiness is in the arms of the lover
but to me, focusing my gaze on the corner of a window
in balance, in trust, careful hover
stand back as the payment is made
confusion beyond thought
at a loss, but I'm grounded
locomotion, no emotion
a stare and a laugh, oh please!
only a con... a tease.
