caught within neighbors thoughts,
whispers of greed flowing freely from pollinated scents,
- i dance upon echoes of liquor enhanced lies ~
haunted by childhood dreams,
my spirit rests, only when enticed to forget,
- my prey bore me, conformed by white picket fence ~
nights of nanny bedtime stories,
operas, between corporate councils and my play....last week,
- soaring through mindless meals, you're never late to leave ~
soaked in jewels, mother decorates your side,
lost between silk ballroom gowns and satin pillows,
- you seem to have found another princess ~
i watch you read, smoke from your pipe befriends you,
another brandy before bedtime, late night meeting gone well,
- pictures of your Family, conformed by that which leads us ~
pretend to be the empty canvas, let both of you paint my portrait,
i'll forgive your creativity, remember me when you're finished,
- a statue of cold steel resembles someone you once knew ~
