Shadowplay

To the centre of the city

where all roads meet,

waiting for you

To the depths of the ocean

where all hopes sank,

searching for you

Moving through the silence

without motion,

waiting for you

In a room with a window

in the corner

I found truth

In the shadowplay

acting out your own death,

knowing no more

As the assassins all

grouped in four lines,

dancing on the floor

And with cold steel,

odour on their bodies

made a move to connect

I could only stare in disbelief

as the crowds all left

I did everything,

everything I wanted to

I let them use you

for their own ends

To the centre of the city

in the night,

waiting for you

To the centre of the city

in the night,

waiting for you
