Your Demise

Tears as loose as the ribbon fluttering from your hair to the floor
Stepping back I wonder if this agony is justice
That a last breath
So you hold your head up high
As fate has sacrificed the utter astonishment from your eyes

There is but a wish
To close those eyes for good
I know this on the wind
Would help you if I could
Smile at your demise

Ill hold you in the palm of my hand
as if a sugar rose
Letting the sweetness perspire
Into my flesh
Ill hold you as this
As the sobs retch through your chest
Ill smile rather than laugh
As laughing takes more effort
More muscles contract

So we act
As if playing a game
The winner shall rise upon a white cloud steadfast and gallant
Towards the prize
Him
I will smile at you loosing this
Round
As he walks me home instead of you

Truth is I don't really want him
I taking him because I can
I'm seducing him as I never liked you much
I never said I was a good person
