• Pencil strokes, back and forth
    Oh so gently against a fragile piano
    with lyrics so calm..
    And I see you there, alone
    and nothing I can do can help you
    alone

    And the page begins to turn dark, shiny grey
    Darker in becomes
    And though he might,
    I have no strength to carry you
    And you are alone
    alone

    Now the page is black with
    penciled lines
    And his love song has ended
    I still sing from behind my mask
    Though my eyes don’t glow
    golden like you may think
    I am still there alone
    alone

    And the room has turned black
    And my mask slips, and lands silently
    on your carpet
    Tomorrow when you awaken
    My mask will be gone
    But golden eyes will be watching you
    from the blackened page
    alone
