jenny

you dance upon
a balance of mirrors
hiding tears better than smiles
letting everything twist inside
being lost as a child

waking up without yourself
you always reach for force
leaning heavily against the bar
tossed hair hiding your eyes
waiting for your next disguise

dancing around all that you hold
so carefully so softly
that it won't leave you alone
loneliness falling forward
with the weight of yourself

jenny keep spinning
around demands for forgiveness
and let me sit with you tonight
in the warmth that I crave
left without a choice
I cannot look away
