[i]Please, be honest, Mary Jane:
Are you happy?*[/i]
You rejected my whole entity;
The essence of my being
You threw over your shoulders;
You robbed my memories of dignity;
My yearnings under the boulders
Of your soberness died –
And yet you dare ask:
[i]
Please, be honest, Mary Jane:
Are you happy?[/i]
The fences, the barriers I built,
The scenery I put up on the edge
Of my insanity make no shield;
One touch of subconsciousness
Rips up my invisibility cloak;
My thin coverlet with one press
Of your image winds up in smoke –
And yet you dare ask:
[i]
Please, be honest, Mary Jane:
Are you happy?[/i]
May I be honest, my baby love?
May I unveil my long lost hope?
May I reveal the shrieks inside,
The shrieks I live with day and night,
Landscapes that never have been bright,
Landmarks too shuddering to sight?
My hangman, you may be secure
But you can't take it, that's for sure.
So go, my long lost baby, go –
We missed the train to honesty
Too long ago …
