I am Mercury but I cannot convey my feelings to you A communicator talking to a brick wall I speak and you hear a foreign language You are deaf to my words Oblivious to my feelings One more roll of your eyes I cannot stand When did you stop listening? When did you stop remembering? When did it become okay to disrespect me? When did I become such an irritant? I am rendered speechless Frightened now to use my words fearing they will be misconstrued and weaponized to fight against me
You were inside my head reading thoughts like an x-ray Obedient to you no more I escaped and ran far away But you lured me back with your bait and switch and before I knew it I was kissing the witch
I am putty in your hands Weakened and malleable Soaked like leather until I am pliable Stretched to the limit on the verge of breaking I am your conquest and my heart, it is aching
She did not scout the darkness Allowing it to lure her into the passage of time Realizing there was no going back Bait and switch Trapped forever living in the past
A chameleon changing colors at whim Playing both sides of the fence Pleasing no one Wounding everyone It was a sin
Did you really want to hurt us all? Those who cared? Use us and abuse us To your own end Perhaps you were oblivious and maybe, just maybe Plain scared?
Your true colors Spanned the rainbow but were hidden from view Thinking we would never understand Concealing who you really were, and never knowing the real you
