There is no calm here
No blind faith in this fate,
No serenity dawning
At the turn of blue,
No otherworldy morphing into someone else
Someone mature, maternal, ready…
This laughter,
This ready, easy smile
Has come to terms
With little else but shame, cowardice
At being discovered a fraud
Aborted by the alien creature
Expanding its dominance from within
Crushing organs,
Along with hopes and dreams
And everything that crosses its path
Such malignant destruction in its wake…
This glow masks the sheen of disillusion, delusion…
There is no calm here
Only terror
Only doubt
Only regret…
All eyes on us,
My alien partner in crime
All eyes on us
As they dote on us
All eyes on this spectacle:
Another young, bright spark
Dimmed by the curse of ‘too soon’
All eyes on us
As I die inside
To give life,
Wondrous life
To give it away
To you.
