Darkness At the Fair

DARKNESS AT THE FAIR
Fond of fun she had gone to a fair Riding the Ferris wheel she floated in the air With her mouth full of classy cotton candy She felt since long she wasn’t so happy. This man appeared out of the blue Why he followed her she had no clue He disappeared estranged sometime ago Her refusal to marry him crushed his ego. With a sinister smile he said to her You rejected me like trash, that wasn’t fair The beauty of your face that betrayed me From now on nobody would ever see. Spray of burning acid splashed across air All became dark in her life at the fair.
