Do no take this lightly, I am not a trivial pursuit, And no I never liked that game, No I never like 'hide and seek' either, To be honest, I'm tired of chasing you, I'm tired to playing 'Let's Pretend,' I'm just damn worn out, Over all these games-- Can't we please be grown-ups for a while? Just for a little while, An hour or so to have conversation, One without all the insanity, The defense mechanisms-- Hasn't Freud taught that you're just Avoiding the truth, In self-deceptive ways? Perhaps you never studied Maslow, Because you just fucked over His Hierarchy of Needs, Playing the innocent little victim-- What...is...up...with...that? Don't like me when I'm angry, Do you? Well, it takes a lot to get me here, But somehow, someway, You've gone and done it, Managed a feet that few can accomplish-- No, you don't get a prize. But I'll tell you something I learned, A lesson that hit me like Falling out of a ten story window-- You are completely unworthy, And I refuse to ever speak of love In your presence again, If you likewise refuse to ever Speak of honesty, Dignity, And all those secrets That you're too proud to tell, Because acknowledging them, Might just make you vulnerable, And that, my dear, will just never do. |
