You know who you are

You know who you are

You give me riddles and pointless little trials.

You must be bored.

I tried to stay away from you,

but you keep singing out of tune,

you keep growling at me through clenched teeth,

and when I ask what you want

you pretend to be asleep.

Then you make me wake up at night,

you offer me simile as lame

as yesterday’s first drafts,

metaphors as pointless,

as they are stale.

You don’t follow rules you say,  

yet you keep dancing around the truth,

you wear this shield of platitudes,

and you hide your face in shadows.
