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
