25 (i hid myself to evade)

I HID MYSELF to evade you.

Now that I am caught at last, strike me, see if I flinch.

Finish the game for good.

If you win in the end, strip me of all that I have.

I have had my laughter and songs in wayside booths and stately halls,- now that you have come into my life, make me weep, see if you can break my heart.
