Kiss
Iced lemon water
Sweet burn bitter taste
Side by side we walked the streets
Secrecy unto my dreams
Waiting for my love to turn on me
Deferred from our path she pulls me aside

The fun house
Who knew what was inside
Artificially preserved
Halted in time
Girls in blue tutus
Hung over the walls
Classical music
An American in Paris
Numbed the senses- the uncanny sublime

Hall of mirrors
Time to play
Throw yourself over the line
Close your eyes and pray
Well lit doorway
Nowhere to hide
He's watching me
“We have to leave”
She went through the doorway and called for me

On the street
Star on dark night
We forgot our destination now lost
She trusted me
Into the rain we ran
Overhead shot
Birds-eye view
Who was watching me?
We got a taxi, I was through
Closed the door
Told my directions
I knew he could follow me
This dream was over
Would I be safe?

He knelt down
Put his arms around me
I screamed
He told me he loved me
Wouldn’t let go
To comfort or trap me I still wasn't sure
Told me he loved me
Should never have let go
How did he know
Says he's watched me before
End my relationship
Lock all the doors
Hide and seek
Likes playing games

I woke up
But jokes on me.
