'
Neon lights, 'Step right up', stuffed bears & ringing bells..
Candyfloss, park mascots, teenage screams, winning sells
Jacks living hell,
A hooded figure amongst the excitement
Moving silent, he followed his love, here to Fantasy Island
Leaning against a hydrant,
He studied her while waiting
In the shadows of the ring toss, to see the cunt she was dating
Blood racing, expression vacant, say hi to the green eyed monster
Every inch of him wants her,
Obsession he can neither fight nor conquer
Her face lights up as her date arrives, a local jock, typical
Jack needed a miracle to take his place, she made him feel invisible
It was criminal,
What gave her the right to shun his advances?
To never meet his eyes despite thousands of glances
Too late now for answers,
His plan was set, ideally for him the whole place was loud
As Jack gripped a knife & lingered back, further into the crowd
Lucy checks her watch, she loves the fair, who doesn’t?
Standing alone by the cyclone, waiting for her cousin
Mike was a handsome man, tall & dark with a great physique
5 minutes late, he arrives & kisses her on the cheek
They like to meet once a week,
The nature wasn’t sordid; they both came from a close family
Like best friends actually,
Enjoying the fairground together happily
Unlike jack, she was here for fun, not business
Relaxed & carefree, not realising her every move was witnessed
Jack was so close; he could smell her arousing scent
A moment he always dreamt,
Except he wanted to hold her hand, with her consent
In the queue for the coaster, he could make out every word she says
He would strike from behind her when he was sat one carriage away
As time ushered away, his heart was pounding
Rising higher & higher, now in fear of his surroundings
Jack was scared of heights, he lost grip of the knife
& clutched onto the handlebars, scared for his life
Something wasn’t right, the whole coaster was shaking
The front end capsized; there was no way of escaping
He could hear Lucy’s screams, it all happened so fast
Jack tried to reach her but the carriage shot off its tracks
A shattering pain ripped through his body, a metallic taste
Lucy’s blood covered his face, now the screams begin to fade
Buried in the wooden mess, taking his last breath
In 8ft neon letters above his head read the name of the coaster..
'The Death'
