I smile, and feel my face fade away a forgotten memory in somebodies torn up picture book And as my smile slides to the floor, I can see your face grining, a reflection of what you used to be. And it's all I can do to keep from bleeding my desire, keeping you locked in my secret. A dirty secret in a world of clean lies. And I lied when I said I was fine. Burning photographs, killing memories in a parade of yellow and orange. As I fill that empty space with empty sighs, you fill my head with dreams of blue lights, sideshow, a bottled princess in a square brick room. Gazing through a fish bowl. And I'm afraid to find out that I'm alone. Another rumour, another night spent together. And you showed up with smoke and mirrors. A hat trick. A puppet show with silk strings, as I cut the threads with slit wrist care. And someday I'll run away to my wonderland. Breaking hearts and soundless music bring me closer to escape. And you make me reckless, and I dont think I care. Locked inside a hallow memory, empty to the rim with forgotten passions. Dreaming of a half expected release. -written at 12:31am, April 15th.
