From the deserted, forbidden places

In my night, I call to the

Anathema in you.

"Come and love me!"

"Come and love me!"

Come and grope wildly in the dark

And stumble, knocking boxes over,

Until I giggle in the night,

And you hear exactly where I am.

Then pretend you do not know,

But continue to grope wildly

While I hide again, and you find me

Again, in the dark.

Moving me away from you

Will never do? Why do parents 

And other authorities always think it will?

Have they never read of Romeo and Juliet?

I have, but I didn't like the ending,

And so, I'll take my Shakespearean truths

Any other way I can get them,

By letting you find me again and again and again,

By letting you love me 

Over and over and over.
