Devil Plays the Fiddle

 

Flawless beauty elegance of a swan

but behind her eyes

there’s something wrong?

 

I feel her pain even as she glides

a wasp swarm uninvited

 has invading her insides

stinging her profusely without remorse

yet she holds her dignity

 with her elegance and  force

 

as I look closely in the mirror

I can see...

 

the devil plays the fiddle

and the ballerina is me

 

behind my eyes he’s a rampant beast

the fiddle he plays devouring his feast

 

if only, if only the mirror wasn’t there

my reflection is in front

oh how helplessly I stare.
