Broken in Completion




Such a game we play
The macabre dizzying dance
Filled with sadistic ways
Self-inflicted masochism
Crippling our soul for days

Spinning close, then pushed away
Hide and seek for eternity
The never ending maze
Pain before the feared
Consuming our mind in craze

Lost in the abyss of haze
Marco Polo without words
Equal love and hate displays
Tears fill lonely being
Happiness of our heart delays

Opposite of what we portray
Tag each other with deep want
Sentences we secretly rephrase
Feet walk but love remains
As we set our lives ablaze
