Continental Hopscotch

Open your eyes. Maybe then I'll see what's wrong with me. He said.

Lend me your smile. Then possibly I'll feel some happiness. He said.

Could I be so comfortably numb that I just can't see.

Or simply blind to all reality.



I am but a child living in a grown up fantasy. She said.

Just give me some time as right now I can't give you what you need. She said. Maybe you're playing 'beat the clock' but I'm not. A second hand is what I need and when it stops going tick-tock, that's when I'll leave you.



To play,

Continental Hopscotch. To and fro, back and forth you go. And when will it stop? Heaven only knows. We play Continental Hopscotch. To and fro, back and forth you go. And will it ever stop? Goddess only knows.

Continental Hopscotch, in me.



I know I look silly standing here with one foot in the air. And empty square is what I need. A place to land, to call my own. as pick up the stone.



We play,

Continental Hopscotch. To and fro, back and forth you go. And when will it stop? Heaven only knows. We play Continental Hopscotch. To and fro, back and forth you go. And will it ever stop? Goddess only knows.

Continental Hopscotch, in me.
