The End of the Beginning
THE END OF THE BEGINNING
Will you love me, just as I am, after all?
You will be free enough to fly
into the salvation of the truth of desire,
in the deep dark of when you were found,
stolen from somewhere else.
"Fear" actors beneath the charade
built on foundations of promise and hope,
kept us hiding ourselves within ourselves.
Yet it is everything to me.
Four lips tangled, bringing two hearts along,
what a fine way to be.
And the games go on.
