Surely as the fireflies dance amongst moonbeams
on a sultry summer evening, I am captured in your
emerald eyes.  Paradox windows beckon me, as
your pain hints and sparkles.  Your voice...
a swords' edge, so sharp.  You test me with riddles
and innuendo, cutting me in discipline...

I tip-toe in sweet nothing's verses, shallow...
so meaningless, and you smile.  I dare not jinx
this moment by speaking my love.  My heart
inside out I as ache to admit my truth to you,
offer you the infinity within.  Our dance, your
verbal leprosy.  I give you what you demand, 
I break.  You toy at my heart, discounting
it's worth.  You pluck my soul's strings
vibrating in twisted, agonizing melodies
until snapped.  Curly debris, tangled lesson...

Surely as a sparrow sings amongst the morning
rays of the sun at dawn, I choose...
walking away from you.
