When I see me
turning away,
I'm satisfied as if
the night conquers day.
Like we're both saved
it's a curious fate.
needs were ignored
egos to satiate.
I'm-a-little-better
or maybe it's worse
but you'll never know
either blessing or curse.
If you thank me I'll kiss you
small effort re-imbursed.
I was hiding....
from you....
and it took a lot of strength
to cover what I knew.
The thing about hiding,
well there's a few,
it's kind of seductive,
but never true.
