Between the cheats, I found your honesty
Despite my impatience, we arrived late
We ran into a nightmare coated in cream
Balancing on a narrow beam you screamed

 

You smiled holding onto humanity
As terrified as it made me I grinned
Filthy monsters they snarled at us today
You never understood their intentions

 

We change the pace but always end the same
We rotate our routine but end the same
We rearranged the colors but they remain
I explained the reason but you refused

 

Everything you saw remained the same
You knew we were the caged ones shackled and bound

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
