Pretender/Half-death
Welcome the performer
Welcome the ache
The gleeful half-death
Dim lit by half-fate
The emotional striptease
Rusted eyes bleed grief
Locked in silk prison
What conceives relief?
Alive not living
Receiving
Not giving
Blessed is he
Inside the release
The actor pretends
White suit, white tie
Lest he forget
Doomed are we all to die.

Thank you very much, Grace. Life is a bit dark in general most of the time. I try to embrace it in a way. I am always honored to see you stop by!:) ~anonshadow
