Would we
Have been
If I had known you
Then.

The only thing
Thats Right  in my life
Is you.

With the wrong lights
And the right nice.

You took me in
And played.
Played Romeo
Sweet Paris of Troy.

My senses were delayed.

Brightly colored strings
Gifted to me
Tied around my limbs
So intricately.

We danced
I danced
I danced for you.

Now
With the right lights
And the wrong nice.

I'm stuck in a place
A place in my mind.
With a peep hole to life
My hands are moving.
My feet are walking.
With a vague recollection
They used to be mine.
Stuck here not knowing
Like a lucid dream
My body is awake.
But I'm stuck here not knowing
In a place.
A place in my mind.

Empty soul
      With smiling eyes.
Stench of blood
       On yellow teeth.
Fighting for the cause.
Your cause.
You.
The war for
        No one.
Your war.
       Against who?
Black heart
       Buried
Somewhere out back.
