lifeline

mocked by art and marked for battle
chosen once and born by chance
lost inside her stormy will
dancing fools and demons twirl
her lost and lonely life enchants
tattooed thoughts of restless birds
laughing clowns - sleep rest assured
wondering why through all this time
she is still so deaf to all my words
pulled by fates with hidden strings
puppeteers rejoice and sing
cast by full moon sounds and schemes
well thought plans - or so it seems
tarot cards tossed to the floor
fortune tellers tell no more
crystal balls break at my sight
my hands just shake - my palms held tight
now cut and scarred by broken glass
my heart is finally dead at last
