非同兒戲

By 林欣彤

走 走得太安靜
沒過激劇情
容易得是否掃興
走 只因我已經
用十日去開一開眼界
明白你已經
不談傻話 只談閒話 心領
不必説
仍能維持原狀也不差
再嘲笑我們談情廉價
錯下去亦延長刑罰也唯有瀟灑
離開 是為了彼此成長
留低 完成連場硬仗更靠膽量
好得這樣快 變得這樣快
難道兒戲不似樣
還是愛 誓要不惜一切煽情誇張
離開 是為了保管夢想
留低 猶如回頭踏碎過去想像
何必 等輕傷變做重傷
不信十年是愛 而十晚
便痛得牽強
走 喜歡你太久
但別為玩偶損失這老友
同伴變對手
一時難受 幾難承受 先夠
原本 是為了朝思暮想
誰知 成為情人沒法叫我想像
何必 等輕傷變做重傷
不信十年是愛 而十晚
便痛得牽強
