i feel like we're in one of those movies
where we all know the words to the songs
but we each only look into the camera
never know everyone's singing along
the camera is a lonely fixation
but we see no warmer face
so the song and dance persist in time
a one-step with bittersweet grace
a turned head would break the rhythm
outreached hands hold secrets in them

but we're all too focused and ready to pose
to look around at the looking glass frowns
how do we live blind to our selfsame burns?

ashes, ashes, we all fall down...

joy has its own justice. and dreams are languid and lawless. and everything bows to beauty, when it's fierce and when it's flawless...

Like it

But as you turn the camera off someone, you turn it on someone else, who nudges you

Enjoying your thoughts, lady

Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.
(by Virginia Woolf)
