South by Southwest
For all those knights
You laid on white Satin

All those Dukes , Nobles , even Kings
Try as hard as you want to forget them

You gaze at the stars
that glitter like your diamonds

Cold empty heat
that love's lost all reason

That cold hearted orb
you call a heart

No room for light
so black so dark

One day the Knights
will no longer be shining

As you lay on white Satin sheets
crying
A boastful man in constant search of his own reflection will find relief by the riverbank .. Till the very moment he's dragged to his death by a hungry alligator ...

He paints his face and becomes the clown
Checks the mirror for his furtive frown
Got it all hidden inside
Watches the people having fun
He wants to run
Get away
To that day
When the children played
So long ago
Time goes by
But the screams still cry
He paints his face and becomes the clown
Checks the mirror for his furtive frown
Got it all hidden inside
Watches the people having fun
As he spins the gun
More laughter as he drops with a bang
Huge applause they begin to stand
Then no sound
Suddenly the laughter turns to frowns
So sad
The death of a clown.

here lay the bones that dry
in the desert Sun
alongside those of the turkey vulture
that devoured the skin
before it rotted
here lay the shoes
that dropped as she run
screams that ran along the sand
until an iguana
heard a faint sigh
here lay the rusted remnants
of his 56 Ford
only 6 miles away
and 12 miles beyond
lay the bones of this sick *****
who in his frenzy to ****
forgot to stop for gas

I came across a quote that said:
"Never stopped chasing the one you love"
And tears streamed down my face,
And my heart ached,
When I remember how I chased after your love
So wearily,
And how you ran away so tirelessly.
