Let The Right One In
A certain mixture - an ideal couple in paradise, the sky matched her eyes And the forest's verdant vigor matched his - pretty words in cursive scriptures Couldn't grasp this perfect picture - what their feeling within - Is being Watched by lurking figures with strange, ethereal limbs Fear and his twin - Love; one dark and twisted with a legion of masks A rubix cube of false faces - that all fiendishly laugh Frequently screaming or flashing their yellowed, razor-blade teeth But his twin sang a melody that seemed made from the sweet Way that archangels would greet a heavenly dame on the street And they watch Fear would randomly screech, a top-heavy freak that swayed in the wind Viciously itching and scratching at the sable decay of his husk A perfect foil to the sapient Love, and his irradiant skin As both watched and waited for the Games to Begin.. The couple's journey progressed - faced with merciless tests Two hearts battling emotions - it would turn in their chests Like a ship battling tidal waves of nervous regret Nothing is truly determined in sex - if honesty could be served like victuals Instead of hidden away in the charades of imperfect rituals This would all be so simple... The spirits hover above them, impatient sprites Waiting for a moment of weakness.. waiting to strike The game of hearts is never won with a sudden, finishing blow It's like constructing a fortress, brick-by-brick, building it slow And after many winters of cold, and summers of sun The twins had ceased their shadowing because someone had won Love had decidedly come, into the lives of the two Fear watches, perched on a clock tower 'neath the shine of the moon But he knows better than any - emotions hostile disquiet And that eternal love is almost an impossible triumph So he watches in silence, mouths cracking smiles and smug As his dark skin becomes irradiant, exactly like Love's & he sees Love change as well, breaking apart at all the gaps in their trust He casts off his husk, Fear turns to Love in a sudden thunder And his presence will go to grace and change some other lovers.. ..for a time. Meanwhile, Tensions rise post-ring ceremony, things are different & changing The bejewled circle is just missing some chain links Love, he twitches and jerks, his skin blistering, repugnant and torn And from what was once Love, a new Fear comes to the world.. |
