Tap Tap Tap Cold white marble Shot through with Streaks of black And swirls of Gray And cemented firmly into it is Something It shines as It catches the Light Tap Tap Tap You lead me closer But to what? You are dragging me But to where? I can't ask My voice- My voice Tap Tap Tap Brown leather And wooden heels Scared and old But beautiful Tap Tap Tap Is that Silver? Steel? Iron? What ever it is It's sharp Tap Tap Tap Scratchy and tan The bands chafe against my raw skin And leave scars They are bound tight TOO tight I'm caught, Utterly caught Tap Tap Tap More marble It's A table? No No NO Tap Tap Tap It's an alter Placed on this cold floor An now i'm on it My back pressed against it and I think Why Tap Tap Tap There are words leaving Your dry lips They sound quick They sound red They end sharply They sound painful Tap Tap Tap Your face hangs low Over mine and it's- How do I explain? It's the stars in a forest Astonishing You can't believe they exist There are simply too many, Too many to be possible And you wonder how you Never noticed them before Never noticed that above you Those dots Those specks Burn hotter than everything That they burn longer So much so that we may as well Be mayfly's And you are a star Living longer than me A star that will burn and End my li- Scratch Scratch Scratch Are you Freeing me? Scratch Scratch Scratch What- What are you doing How did I not see before It's a knife Tears They flow From my eyes Or yours And my thoughts- End
