Golden Lie

iffy...experimental

Why

Come the words

From the

In-the-darkness/Crack-in-the-wall

Eye:

 

Why

OhWhyOhWhy

 

Cries the lie

Watching in the darkness:

A termite in the wall

 

And

“Why have you forsaken me?

I played my cards so well;

 

I kept you free

From what you thought

Must be Hell.

 

I asked for nothing in return,

Just that you

                Let me cling

                And dance around at your feet,

 

                And every once in a while,          

                Perhaps for you to throw me

                A piece of fresh meat.

 

Why have you forsaken me?”

 

WhyOhWhyOh,

 

“Was I not a good

                Not a sweet

                Not your precious

                Little

                Golden Lie?”

 

 Why

Come the words

From the

In-the-darkness/Crack-in-the-wall

Eye.

 

No

Comes the answer

From the

Escaping-the-shadow

Eye

Crying

Let me go

You were not a good.

You were not a sweet.

You were not my precious

Little

Golden Lie,

 

And I like the air

That I breathe

Outside the crack in the wall.
