Elucidating Questions

We’ve played one last cue so many times

I do too

I stay here

Because this is all I can be

So what if I have all these things that I need to be doing to feel okay?

And who even asked if I needed anything else?

Do you show it like I do?

To everything except you?

Always goodbye

It was goodbye before it was hello

Such a strange thing

Lulled me to sleep

Watched over as my mind played tricks on me

Half awake

Half asleep

I don’t even remember what they said

How many false starts before it really begins?

And why did everyone else get such a headstart?

Living on

Loving everything that comes into contact with me

Cut up and torn

It stokes into flames with the melodies

Oh it’s never time

So much in my head

My head hurts instead

Heart wrung out

Holding out for something

If we spoke the same language

My heart and I

Would we win the prize of something other than

Purgatory

I wish I could believe that someone loves me

Ending endings

From this place of nothing

How can I walk away from it?

It swallows me up and I’m helpless again

Could we meet in a place where you don’t scorch my skin?

When will you come take me from this place?

On to something else?

Frustrated from knowing too much

Paralyzed from knowing too little

Not an ounce of charm

People speak around me

Why did Aphrodite laugh just then?

Laugh, then

People come to dislike me

He hates me too

And that feels more fate than what I was wanting

What I want is unreachable

It’s never fate

I hope your character has fun

Pulling my strings without even wanting to
