Is it really a dangerous game,
Or does it just present itself like one?
What could the criteria be exactly,
And who decides who wins?
If only I knew we had been
Playing the whole time, paying the same price.
Eye for an eye, lover for a lover.
Got rid of mine, so you got rid of yours.
Now it has turned into a racing car,
I find myself strapped in twice as hard.
Dreadfully, I do not want to be inside.
I do not wish to see the end,
And I will not address the winner,
No matter how much gold they will win.
But it goes around again—
It always goes around again.
Yet when I finally get out onto the pavement,
I miss the rush.
The feeling of my hands out the window, in the air,
My hands losing reason in your hair.
A kiss on my cheek and a kiss on yours.
A photograph on my bedside table,
A photograph under your dresser.
Oh, I feel so childish.
I hope you can hate me again when
I never grow out of this fear.E.
