the stars paint a hazy future
look at us, such pitiful creatures
trapped in the barriers we set
alone, singing a duet

warily approach, bribes of the heart
guarding emotion, never to part
gray classroom spun bloodshot,
silent words the loudest thought.

illusion, your specialty
confined to my fantasies
elusion, my reality
brush away their jealousy

when will you have a chance
to take my hand, to dance
you’re on top, i’m down below
putting up a lustful show

mine and only mine, a sacred oath
the fire we lit burned us both
you dragged me into checkmate
only time can tell, our tangled fate
