Trough the flicking candles and soft lullaby's that filled the warm air, clear of every thought and wearing my best smile, looked like nothing could interfere on this surreal night . A giggle, a wink, a secret whispered into an ear. The night was just at the start and we just wanted more...
"You show no feelings as you wonder trough the crowd,
Erased your memory by time, I thought,
But shadows of you appear as I walk.
No one can see you, invisible to the eye.
Only in my imagination you appear.
Like a fickle dream, while I'm awake..."
The sound of clinking glasses and the aroma of sweet liquor pervaded the air. Dance, sing, come closer it read on their eye, innocence will be lost tonight...
"I held my breath when I thought I recognised your face.
Followed the image until it faded away.
It makes me ask, how have you travelled so far across?..."
Rose turned the air, and the sound of the world almost turned still, only the daring sweet smell of lost youth lingered crawling up the walls. Slowly they made their way into the narrowing streets finding refuge away from the curious eye, of those like me that never had seen...
"I smile with satisfaction when you flatter me.
Like any other would be.
Sweet sounds your voice for those who starve.
I just beg you, not to feed on me..."
Make's you ask the question how naive I could be, in my world these were only wild fantasies. Tick tock goes the clock, we mocked time like this moment would last forever, tick tock goes the clock, until the first light of the day... Cinderella did not leave at the stroke of 12... she choose to ignore, instead of retreating, more and more joined the dark ball...
"You speak of love, but you feel none.
Hoo you speak of love but you don't know what it means.
You speak of my love, as you know what I feel...
For love it is not what you seek...
Hoo dear you, the stoic is craving for love..."
Entangled in a dance ignoring the crowd, both locked in each others glare, passion... as fluids exchanged. Heavy their breath became when faster the music played. Intoxicated by the smell of the awaiting flesh, more and more he bagged to her, with just a smirk she kept feeding the flame within.
"Inebriated by your poison that slowly infiltrated trough my skin.
Your presence made itself trough the crowd unnoticed,
Or they choose to just ignore playing the indifferent role...."
More! he whispered to the air, more he wished to have, more.. more.. more, greedy as rebel youth can be.
"What it will take to satisfy your sick appetite?
What more you want of me?
hoo scavenger of the innocence...
Don't take the last hope away from me..."
Dance, drink and dare till the first ray of light, then back to the dark narrowing streets where shadows reigned and the music never ceased.....
"Your monument stands high above every other.
It makes them look small, insignificant and weak.
But yours is the one who's crumbling
Now the stoic twitches with fear..."
...
Your indifference will soon revolt against you, and you will learn what pain means, what abandonment feels like... and the stoic will finally learn the meaning of feel...
