Cruel Games and Spandau Ballets
Hunger, I dived
In absolute depression
A sterilized sheet
From your world to mine
I have a box
It is cardboard and ripped
Beaten to the curb, returned and dogged
It holds a million memories and cruel reminders
They pull me like a puppet
Dance under clouds of acid rain
As I breathe you in and drown below the barre
Perils and luminance fade into melodramatic ballets
Childish games where everybody dies in the end
Neatly in time with the jump of a rope
I close my eyes in replica beloved
Memorial and fade into sleep
To wake for us both
As you sleep for only one

Spandau Ballets are Nazi death marches. When people were marched to the gas chambers that
is a Spandau Ballet.
I'm not talking about the band...though they are/were amazing.
