Prudence hidden.
Makeup heavy.
Lights pounding.
Music deadly.
Reckless,
Rash,
Bold and brash.
The perfect bait,
A perfect medley.

Heels and lace,
Hunting starts.
Masked face.
Queen of Hearts.
Sly and coy,
Snares a boy.
Hands are soft,
Eyes are darts.

Endless cycle,
Endless nights.
Right is wrong,
Wrong is right.
How to choose?
How to stop?
World spinning;
A child's top.

Faces,
Blurs,
Voices,
Slurs.
Never-ending,
Spikes and spurs.
How to walk?
How to crawl?
Only sprinting
Towards the fall.
