Brief resurrection

peto

It had promised so much 

When her very first touch 

Sent a shiver the length of his spine 

He had taken the bait 

Hadn't nibbled of late 

So ignored his own no entry sign

Off he skipped ten feet tall 

Barging through every wall

Nothing stands in the way of romance 

And when asked "how are you "

He replied this is true 

I don't walk over water I dance 

But he's one of those guys 

Who can look in her eyes 

And immediately see past the blue 

Something didn't look right 

She had changed overnight 

What she told him he already knew 

There's another named Jim 

Who came long before him 

She's a slave who is chained to his lies 

As he hushed her sweet lip

Feels his paper heart rip

Any life resurrected now dies
