In an upside down world, she wanders
Blue velvet sliding down her legs,
Riding up her stomach and chest
Waiting for the show she always renders
***
As baby waits, she sings
Strings pulling her up from the ceiling
Glitter pouring down her hair and face
Ain’t it always like this with flings?
***
Water runs on the floor
Tears dare not fall from her face
Desert storms cross her glare
And she watches, it closes, the door
***
Alone again
Blue velvet sways above her hips
Grinds her skin to dust
It was just a different man
***
The strings grab on to her waist
The blue velvet crushes under them
A breath of desperation loosens
Heartbreak is never truly faced
***
She is turned downside up
Blue velvet slides up her hips, stomach and face
Blue velvet hits the water, runnin’
Ain’t paradise, a dark irony?
