Gone Like a Whisper
Oh isn't it unfair?
That,
Right there
Gone like a whisper .
For something to be
To really be,
Specials only vanish
Please,
Let me grab it
Please,
Let me hold it
I'll be careful I promise
But an idea never tarnished,
Why so eager to rot?
Why these children
Without folly
Play with costume
Do you remember playing?
When we could do that
And that was just a thing
But time a constant
Never discriminates
And this child is growing up
Cupid sends him
His first letter
The return address was
The bad part of town
Why he does it I don't know
But every time
This boy falls in love
A lady of the night
Temptress No one knows
Her name always changing
But she always
Drinks something pink
On her luggage tag
It just says, "disguise"
The fragile said something
Quietly from the corner
Ever so slightly
But now,
Louder
Louder
And Louder!
She is staring to scream.
Her breath wreaks
Stale and rotten smoke.
The room its self grasped
Is cold fills the void
It is instant
An idea has cracked
Oh but isn't this fun?
And it's making me feel good
That can't be bad,
Right?
But the walls are yellowing
And the wallpaper is sticky with tar
The only thing
keeping that ugly pattern still up there
And now it's gone
That
Just there.
