I Joked About You





I joke about you

Pretend that we are friends

Yet you are locked away most days

Today pounding on the glass

Wanting to escape

How such a black shadowy figure

Can make so much noise

Somehow you scream louder than me


Wanting out

Having me joke about drinking things

Oh the ideations that creep in

There was a crack

How did I let you in

The unknown of the source


The glass rattles

As bang harder

Screaming to be let free

Those who look close enough

May just see


For the eyes are a window

The window is where you are at

Making yourself known

No longer behind the curtain

Standing there

Getting my attention


You hear those words

I am fine

Escape these lips

As you had hoped

For you know

I say it enough

The games will start


A game to you

Is a war for me

A power struggle

Of who will win

The defeat won’t happen

Til I am bloody and bruised

A fight I constantly push against

A game you love to play


Being bloody and bruised 

Is how you like me

You’ll whisper in my ear

The things I love to hear

Being to weak

I’ll listen

Only too closely


Your darkness

Will slowly consume me

Like the smokey demon you are

Breathless

Your raspy voice will share your thoughts

Begin to poke and prod

No energy to force you back


The window is open for all to see

Trapped that you are

How much longer will you be trapped

For the answer is unknown

I have fight in me

Before your game starts


We both know how this goes

Only one always survives
