"Close. Closer, Closest?"-by P.Flack.
___________________________________________________________________________
Do you want to know the truth of my enemy to know?
The closer you get, isn't close enough to show.
Do you know not to play with fire?
I care of the fair trade's desire.
Does attatchment grow weaker in this portrayal?
When you know in you the evil will fail.
Are you stuck in between life in honor, or worship of death?
Be warned, earned trust will lend you a breath.
Do you stake claim in a god or a devil, or do you dare?
Stare shame in the eye a fraud, an evil you will share.
Take notice my face, a mirror shows no lie?
Look into a reflection so short, further a truth will die.
To tear open a seal, a letter, a number for greed?
Bear this token so real, better not to want, than to need.
A child is forever, a diamond not gold so quiet?
Silence is golden, if it's not for sale, don't buy it.
Are we where we should be, so this journey has purpose?
We are closer, you and I have only scratched the surface.
Did it come across to you, this realization that your lost?
Not with you in mind, this currency has cost.
Do you think I am alone with you, or lonely with the stars?
What is in between fear and hope, these "nears" and these "fars".
What do you mean, by closer and closest being?
It's because whats in between, isn't one's hearing or one's seeing.
Why is it so hard to understand what's closest to me?
The closest one to show hardest, understands reality.
Why?
I'm closer than you think.
Shy?
No, my attention begins to sink.
Can I ask you a question you can't answer?
I don't walk on fates tightrope, and I'm not much of a dancer.
Would you like to dance with me and my enemy on the net?
I fell enough times closest, to one I haven't met.
May I meet you walking thinner this line?
Yours an ego thicker than hope or fear, I know a sign.
I figure this notion with love, who do you know this with a hint - an indication?
So I do love, known in no secret, nor in this affiliation.
I know you from somewhere far and wide, not close enough - why?
I know you from here - my heart breathing, this closest tie.
Why didn't you tell me, I wanted my enemy dead?
Because the closest one to show, is the one in my head.

What kind of strange glory of me in conflict, do you ask?
One I know, I don't succeed in, this strict task.
Do you want to know the truth, or is it because I don't anymore?
I didn't ask you the first time, the last enemy lost this war.
