Wolf tears or clown tears,
jewels of truth or decoration?
Emotional lies or greyed remorse -
what belies your altercation?

Agenda - clear or oblique,
words of pure or tainted derivation?
Emotive warmth or icicle jags -
what belies our conversation?

Plaything or punch-bag -
what am I in this equation?
Cherished lover or mere toy -
I plead,
give me an explanation.
