Chasing Demons and Pulling Their Tails.

Did I disappoint you?
Have I let you down?
I let you in,
You looked around.

Was it not what you expected?
Did I not give enough?
What the hell happened?
Did I give you too much?

I trusted you,
You discarded that trust.
I am too delicate
And you are too rough.

Again I am the fool,
Again I am burned.
Left alone in my head,
Battered and hurt.

I shrink into my darkness.
I can't be harmed there.
It is my safe place,
I won't hurt if I don't care.

Same old hungers,
Impossible dreams.
I want to be known,
I need to be seen.
