There was a thing
There is something…
Coming over me…
Something lacking…
In comfortable familiarity…
Something cold…
Something dark…
A shadow crosses…
This tattered heart.
There was a girl…
She was made in a lab…
She had the body of a woman…
The curiosity of a child.
Her creator treated her
As though he was her master…
And set the boundaries…
Around her…
Which led to future
Disasters.
There is a town…
In which I am king.
Living on a pedestal…
Nightmares condemn my dreams.
When they are in trouble,
They look to me…
And I wonder…
If they knew of my
Secret…
What would they think?
There is a place…
Not very far…
Something new!
As though by mistake…
Some clandestine door was
Left ajar.
There is a thing…
Perhaps the thing…
That can renew my spirits…
Grant me new dreams.
In my excitement I fail to see…
There may be dangers
That wait for me…
But no matter…
What's the worst to come?
I have found what I am
Looking for…
And for now…
That is enough.
