... for the world is all but a dance ...

  His melancholy demeanor
masks a soul of tears
a life lived in empty years 


 His heart sinks with each action
 seeking to be saved all the same
 yet is burdened by beatings of blistering blame
 
~

 ... and underneath the universe is nothing but ideals
 shame for who we are, how we live, what we feel....
 
~

 Terrible torrents of untruth
tempt him from salvation
denying all but damnation

 Dark dreaded demons
 twist and haunt in the night
feeding on his dreaded fright

The weak and weary sit back
 and welcome his withering soul
 The real him we need not to know
 
(...for the world is all but a dance....)
