Silent are the souls as they float around the...
We are neither alive, nor are we dead...

A poem for Nat...

Alone at the beginning
alone at the end...

Love and lies
each one is taught with screams and cries...

I am the child with no face
i am the lady lacking grace...

Did you ever see behind my mask
did you ever see it slip or crack...

Did you ever look beyond my face?
did you see my manners or my grace...

Twas a beautiful night so long ago
and there was I so filled with hope...

I am a murderer for i have murdered love
i am a sinner for i have tasted lust...

Beauty was an angel
so full of life and grace...

A mask i do wear
to hide the shame i cannot bear...

Like so many others i fell in love
like so many others my heart did a dance...
