Walk around the room with a glaze in your stare.
In your tuxedo suit.
I will give it a name.
Lower your defenses.

Lower your casket.
Open the door and open your grave.

And a scarlet thread around her wrist.

But danced in perfect time 

To a love so much refined,

Like a dullen wine we pour into a grief 
Know before but never quite like this.

All I know now is regret,
It follows like a silhouette 
Along the cobbelstone behind us,
But has nothing to say except to innocently ask,

It's voice delicate as glass,
"Do you see me when we pass?"
But I continue on my way
