Play Dead

Darling, stop confusing me

With your wishful thinking

Hopeful embraces

Don't you understand

I have to go through this?

I belong to here

Where no one  cares

And no one loves

No light, no air to live in

A place called Hate

The city of fear

I play dead

It stops the sting

I play dead

And the hurt stops

It's sometimes just like sleeping

Curling up inside my private tortures

I nestle into pain

Hug suffering

Caress every ache

I play dead

Stops the hurting

I play dead

It stops the hurting
