you were
most deceptive
and perhaps i am at fault
when i mistook
your love for sugar
and ended up with salt

-mouse

against my
better judgment
against all
common sense
i blindly loved you anyway
and at my heart's
expense

in misery
she lived her life
they judged her as a freak
for she'd no voice to call her own
no voice to sing or speak
but they were wrong to judge her so
to not even give the chance
for even though she was a mute
oh, boy, could that girl
dance
