| SUDDENLY
I can
barely see you - I can barely feel you - your fading like
the dirt on my TV. I’m feeling kind of scared cause
I never get to talk but there’s really nothing good
for me to say. You’re right to stay away - you’re
dangerous to me. You push so cleverly just like no others.
You don’t like other girls - you care about your
friends - and you’d rather have been born as one
of your brothers.
Suddenly I am “the wrong”.
Suddenly I can’t be strong. Suddenly I am the man
I never meant to be.
I barely know your name I barely know
your name even though we have been living here for years.
I’d really like to talk but they took away my tongue
and replaced it with a thousand lonely tears. I’m
sorry about your dad I wish he wasn’t mean. I really
wish I didn’t remind you of him. I try my very best
but the devil owns my mind and I haven’t had the
chance to show you who I am.
Won’t you have another cup of
tea? I really have enjoyed our time together. And when
I get on back to the prison, will you wait for me? Until
I return so suddenly.
