The Ball

As aloof as I seem to be
Like a masquerade ball
I'll hypnotize you with obscurity and mystery. 

Staring straight through your opaque façade,
Crimson and ebony float around us as we mingle together. 

As I cut through your image, I'll suture you back up as well. 

I'll veneer your personality and become aloof as death puts me 
to sleep, because I only own the night.
