Hide And Seek (new song by me)

Hide And Seek
______________________________________________________

“Hello, hello”
But only my lifeless echoes answer me
“Marco, Marco”
With games like these silence is key

Where the hell did she go
I direly need her to know
This horrible secret I told her I’d tell
And I refuse to spill it to anyone else

When I finally saw her hiding in the lost and found
That silent victory thrill rushing through my spine felt so nice
It was now my turn to hide and hers to count down
But in seconds, as I tiptoed closer, my feeling altered into ice

Where, oh, where did she go
I really wanted her to know
All of the secrets that I told her I’d tell
But I don’t know how to get hold of hell

I wish now it was about “just playing games”
How about, say, Sorry it had to be this way
She would be proud, if only she had stayed
To see what’s become of me over the days

Oh, where in god’s name did she go
I awfully wanted her to know
All the secrets I told her I’d tell
But I don’t know how to reach hell

Don’t tell anyone this secret of mine, it’s for you and only you to hold
Do you remember that week that I “had come down sick with a cold”
But for some reason nobody was allowed to come up to visit me for even just a sec
Well, that’s since my room was still bloody and I was stuck in the hospital a wreck

Okay, now that at last I know where she went
Tell her to just stay put and I’ll see her soon
Since I don’t want her to be ignorant of the situation when I arrive
Her casket will need enough room for someone who’s still alive

At least my dear died doing what she loved of all things
She came to peace cheerfully, oh how she loved cutting
