Jack and Sally

Pumpkin king lord of nightmares,
Made in a lab full of cuts and tears.
Misunderstood father of the night,
Rebellious child putting up a fight.

Visions of death, terror and decay,
Picturing a winter wonderland where children play.
Wanting to be loved by the man of her dreams,
Expected to be a creature of terrified screams.

Wanting more out of death than fear and woe,
Escaping her maker who won't let her grow. Questioning his assumed devious power,
Trying to be more than a girl locked in a tower.

Stranger's once growing closer to friends,
She hides her true feelings and simply pretends.
She wants him to be her king and by him she'll stand.
And have Halloween on Christmas together hand in hand.
