Relentlessly

I can see the gulf
That lies
Behind your eyes
The lies
You sell yourself
The chasms between
What you need
And what you say
The games you play
Within your mind
The way you're unkind
With how you feel
Each crushed appeal
Of the child that died
Living other's lives

Won't you pretend
Just for a while
That it's alright
Won't you come out and play
Let your thoughts ascend
To realms untried
Won't you hold me and say
Things you've never dared
Act like you never cared
And leave that past behind

Won't you just try
To find yourself
In me
Relentlessly
