My sister and I played
hide and seek
Wherein you hid something...
like yourself
And eventually
she figured out where you hid
Once, I went myself in the closet
Never bothered to come out
I counted one to ten and
hid like I was the deep darkest secret
That carries the pretty little lies
That funnily forgot that haunting night
By age 6, my naivety was shattered
into a million liberate pieces
Lips quivered
Dress stolen
A beautiful exciting play
Turned into a craziest
frightening holocaust
And all I think was how was I so stupid?
Too reckless to even venture to the witches' candy house?
And I was found barefooted with no shoes on
Like Alice following the rabbit
Like Cinderella running from her prince
And for the love of God,
I'll never bothered closing
that scary haunting red door
Once, my sister and I
played hid and seek
Wherein you hid something...
like truth
And eventually she figures out
what you did
She lost the game
And I cried and cried,
my poor little sister titled her head
Because how could she found me?
When 'we' were alone, next door,
Doing things only adult could know.
