When I fear there's nothing left in here
(points to her head)
I circle the room
I roam
I become a pacing lion in a cage
(points toward direction of the zoo)
I swipe my hand upward
(sweeps up those long bangs)
I get in tune with the habbit
When I fear there's gotta be nothing to give
I smile and show my long,
Sharp
teeth in the mirror
(runs her tongue over them)
I sit back down
There's something flickering in here
(points to her heart)
(begins to write)


Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying,
And this same flower that smiles today
To-morrow will be dying.

-Robert Herrick
