Make me a fictional character

turn my into your nightmare, your dream

As shadows lengthen the sun I

will lengthen my hold in you

Devote me to the recesses of thought

and bring me out when the need overwhelms you

I am whatever you want me

to be, and mold me into

the figure you want me to be

And strong like clay when you put me to fire

My desire to be the ideal

The thornless rose

The willing partner

And after the crime, one of your many

waiting alibis

Should any one inquire within

I am going to be the brick wall they are faced with

Faceless
