You should try
not to take this too far,
like everything else you do -
you should at least try to hide
that look you wear so well -
that disdain...
you've lost all of your privileges today.
This, boy
is what you wanted
is what you pleaded for
and this
is all that you would give
in place of your own words -
in place of something real...
You
don't have a right to complain,
You
don't have an explanation
for the way you feel today...
If you were afraid of losing
what you thought was yours,
you'd have done better
not to throw the truth away -
now pleasure is forever
gone from you...
this game you play,
is only with yourself -
you have not won,
and there will be no
consolation prize
today. |
