The Little Girl With Grown Up Eyes.
*Based on the lyric ʻCondemnationʼ by Depeche Mode. Lyrics are in italics*
Condemnation – the act of condemning - that was what she offered me the first time we met online, in the first conversation we had.

It is only when you are close to death that you see them,
But you need to believe first in order to see them,
For they exist, they are there,
They are within the shadows, hiding under the stairs.’

Fear is hate and hate is dear
Everything is skewed and queer

Timeless, the promise of the tides
Ageless, the Sea rushes into shore
Breathless, joy rushes over her heart
Always, bringing the battered ship to bay

A series of vicissitudes aided by an unnamed Symphony, leaving only fragments, counting for days,
weeks, months, years, counting what cannot be counted, like the waves of time stretching across the South China sea of all eternity; this seemingly long but thriving in only a few hours. This dream. Beginning as a hazy, infant morning at the Malinis lawn, one summer night in a dream and ending as a mass of fog in my eyes and nose and throat.

Am I through with that guy?
I'm not that shy, am I?
Cause I feel like dying at school sometimes
Even if my long hair shines

Can you put into words the soul of a man?
Is he all that is in his mind and in his heart?
He is an intricate web of his desires and ambitions?
Rolled into his responsibilities?

Sands from deserts,
creep in through the soles;
Burn the skin of the passenger.
Spiders creep across the floor.

Make this your
validating
forlorn call
to the lovers on shore,
from all of us
whom are left out at sea.

I have always been contagious.
But afraid to jinx it, I have sat silent.
Even though, I love to infect you.
