I need to write this today
Waiting to fall in love and play
I need to melt at first sight
And please let it happen tonight
My ache is real and gaining strength
The pendulum blade drops in length
How many failures before my death
Before the blade takes my last breath
Last words written with the fall of night
Then the Queen’s ball only pairs in sight
I see Gwen smile does she wait for me?
No the Prince comes up and I flee
