Freedom

Spinning, spinning, spinning

To the dizzying beat of drums

A flash of cheshire grinning

And the faint sound of hums

I know I am sober

But my vison becomes blurred

Is it still October?

How do I know what's occurred?

This shapeshifter is in control

My once beloved subject

Has managed to make my skin crawl

With undeniable hatred

This beauty is mine alone

I could watch him all day

In every way perfect

He will never go away

The beat of drums increases

He is almost here to stay

I might just fall to pieces

When he takes my breath away

A cold and uninviting steel

Manages to meet my lips

How should I feel?

When I know it's a full clip

Green bores into lifeless pupils

Like a vice he hold me in his grip

My resistance would be futile

I can feel my heart trip

It couldn't be a dream

My subject really loves me

I can only begin to beam

While most would want to scream

His whispers reach my ears

A promise that I cannot ever leave

That day I didn't shed a tear

We'd be together every summer's eve

This is not possible, how can it be?

This grin is cold and unfamiliar

How could I let it trick me?

This false reality could never last

But, I would never put him in the past

So tonight one shot will ring out

My freedom will come about.
