Control


8-

Control
How do I gain you
Over my emotions
Over my explosions
Over my pain
Over the craziness of my reactions
Over the stupidity of my words

Control
Come in and tell me
The secret that you told all the ones before
Who were able to eat and sleep
Who were able to live and breathe
With you present and alive.

Control
Tell me please! How do I achieve
To be in just the room where you sit?
How do I come near your presence?
How I steer temptation against my will?

Control
Teach me how to write again.
Teach me how to speak again.
I am desperate and I curl inside of me
Without you.

Control
Let me conquer you.
Let me be you.
Let me in.
Open the door for me.

Control
Why don’t you want me?
