Untitled.

I've set all my bridges aflame
And taken up a new stage name.
Life without you is terrible,
Insipid, and unbearable.
Where are you now, my missing frame?
You were the different in my same.

I've found it now! I've found my fame!
My show debuted to mass acclaim.
It was a modern parable!
You were the different in my same.

I've forgotten from where I came;
I was the girl you could not tame.
Your heart will prove repairable;
You'll find a girl comparable.
In money I will drown my shame.
You were the different in my same.

Vicissitude.

Try as I might to imitate,
Forget the night I venerate -
Still, I am caught in the web I've sewn,
Callously, I stand alone.
Who could have seen this twist of fate?

There's nothing left to celebrate.
No virgin left to desecrate.
Sins for which I cannot atone...
Try as I might.

I, who the dusk does saturate
Am done taking the hook for bait.
I'll sit here, to you - unbeknown.
I'll sit - bitter - upon my throne.
It's you I cannot captivate...
Try as I might.
