A far away and fragile place
Is overrun in the night,
Engulfed by the noise
Of unsettled scores

The cruel face of love lost
Fades slowly,
Featureless,
Blurred and smudged
By each pained verse scrawled

The long bursts of laughter
Ring dismal and distorted
Drained by the years
By a swarm of white lies
