Why did I even try to join in
To be helpful and supportive...

Suspense hangs from his weakened lips
Words tumble out, his wary mind trips...

Dance with me when no music can be heard
Whisper simple words with a very true meaning...

The single tear caresses my cheek
Unaware of the pain it brings...

The runway lights shine bright
Professional price tags maxed out...

Stone me to death, if you please
I'm not a criminal, or a tease...

Our poisoned midnight sun-fire burns
Breaking the surface of childish concerns...

The blade may be fake
The pain is vivid and real...

See me bleed, watch me cry
You do nothing to make me smile...

Laying on her cushy bed
Her calming music plays...

The darkness shifts, the breathing comes quicker
Somewhere the quiets eyes bug out at the silence...

Blood was seen more than water
Guillotines were useless then...
