The Baroque Masquerade

Folder: 
2006

A girl with hope so high

sits, so pensive, on a swing

she stares at her trembling hands

and slowly starts to weep.



Tonight, lovers hearts are torn

old love fades, new love born

Destructions of what we care are done

While creations of other's hearts are won



Not for our fair girl

Still sitting pensive on a swing

still she cries, but she knew

what only coming here could bring



More kisses, more hugs

more deceitful words

a baroque masquerade

Where the words dressed her

in deceptive Diamonds and Pearls



that's when she felt pretty

in her place with him

Her dream place, as one might dare to say

As she always left her place

at the very light of a brand new day



She missed her Pearls,

Her Diamonds and the Masquerade

He never dressed her up

when she was that far away



She waited and she waited

but he had none to say

So she went to her dream place

as often as she may



The dreams did start to fade

As her visits began to increase

her Diamonds and her Pearls

soon turned into rusting debris



She didn't mind it

no Diamonds, no Pearls

she wanted the heart of a boy

who already had hers.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I suppose you could say that the poem's about my dream place, my old home. Nostalgia's a bitch. I do like Diamonds and Pearls, though.
