[pieces]

If I said, I need you like this
it would be untrue, so believe
the things I cannot tell you live
under my skin; ask me to prove it, go on -
Just try me, fucker - I will.

. . . .

Hurts, you say, playing innocent
the curve of your mouth too obscene
I can't hear the words; can't see the glint in your eyes -
I can't see you lying, in the dark.

I wish you'd listen. No. I wish you'd stand still
and see what I see (in you) at the end of the day
head resting in your arms, Madam Pince five steps away
but I don't move as you breathe out
empty syllables like trust.

. . . .

You're best silent, boy
My Father told me in time and you only mime
go on, go - can't say my name even now. Righteous bastard.
Nothing to see here.

. . . .

Tastes like poison, but you can scream all right
hand on your heart - Promise? -
my tongue in your mouth
as if I want to cure you - So try me.

. . . .

(You will.)
