Perfectly acceptable
When you dress to be respectable
Darling let’s not make this a spectacle
For others to feast upon
This is not collectible
Shifting outlets for better reception
I’m open to any suggestion
When you need automated reflection
For a guide on self-flagellation
Bound by countless tethers to USB
Synced up accessibility
To blacklisted, pre-programmed telemetry
With no mass-market approved USP
For which to up-sell your dignity
Daub your past on castle walls
Details of your rise and your falls
Close your mind to the withering cat calls
Those that grow to terrifying squalls
Hide your head beneath warm sheets
It’s a necessarily hasty set of retreats
Catch yourself caught in the simplest of beats
A cycle that forms
A pattern that repeats
Recognize a way out from the mire
One that will take you higher
Nothing can extinguish the fire
Burn our love in the funeral pyre
Star born lovers wrapped tight for infinity
The truth, the bond, the love
A holy trinity
The gods, for what they are
With hallowed divinity
Will speak of a power that you give to me
And I’m running on empty
