Come now, you thought you were pretty clever
Down and out
You shapeshifting ink blotched clown
What have the I to do with you now?
Now that this costume of flesh and bone
Is no longer suited for the show
My spirit much more feels all the better
Apart from You, I Am light as an angel's feather
So what is your reason
What's your excuse?
What keeps my soul from soaring
Unto something new?
~~~
Wait with me, please
Just a little longer
This body suit is not yet all but worn out and put down
You'll toss and turn forever
Without I to keep our hearts fooling around
Haven't you enjoyed the show?...
I gave you my all to the thorn weaved crown of a rose
What else could I ask of You?
Would you last any longer
Should i beat this heart that much faster
How many tears have we counted
Since the last fall?
I wake for you each hour
Yet at night, it's the same wonder elsewhere, to make my eyes roll
Can't you love this clown show just a little?
I know these shoes are a hard role to hold
~~~
I love the feel of sad
I love the feel of anger
Passions burn in me still
But when i look to the mirror
I quiver
What is this?
Of all the main characters
This spirit of depth and darkness
Should be bound to a body tarred and feathered?
I feel pitty on your waking strides
It was a good story for all dry eyes
We walked ever more together...
Up until now... why have i felt the pull to sever?
What were these memories we made,
Across the seas and all doubtful paths took across those rough terrains...
I guess,
You really did step up to take the lead
In the heat of the Florentine masquerade
To the Shepard's sheep of the alps
And the one wolf demanding his own way
To the freezing cold of the Monastery crptic cellar
Where all the old bones came out of the dark together
And that whole time,
Our souls never did part
Each storm among the sands of time
We were made bound with each other to whether
I only wish now...
I had treated You much better...
~~~
Oh my spirit
Oh my Whole
You pushed this old fool right out of his shell
It was truly a fantastic adventure
For this clown who's soul couldn't hold alone, much better
A hole blown right through me
Where my heart had beat so smoothly
And after this clown was sawn asunder
It was You, my I, that sewn my soul back together
Do you not see the moment I had already realized,
We couldn't stay mad with each other forever)
Sit still with me a little longer
And you'll see your reflection gets much better
This story is of a fool's retribution
And a jester who unlocks his forced mask once upon forever
And it's so much thanks to you
My spirit stitchings of an angels feather
You are what makes this clowns smile shine
And if you will
We can play the Joker card forever
Fooling reality of it's picture show
We can remove our masks together
And walk out from this stage hell
Leaving the spotlight for someone's other
Pass up this Master/Slave act
We will play the sweet role of two lovers
So what do you say my dear,
Will you wear this suit for just a little longer?
~~~
I Am
and I will
Yours truly,
The under covers
