she will

She waits
Time stops for miles and
She stays still
While she swallows the pill

She says she will
Devil you do and
That I can’t define
Fly by night sideshow
First and foremost
That I can’t deny

Harlequin
Will you let me in
Hypnotize
You give it away with the look in your eyes

Stay still
I hear them coming
Around the corner
You ride out the weather
To think you’re better
Switching spots and
I’m catching on
You pull your hoodwink down
To lull the good from all around

Interrelated
None of the above
You loved hate
You hated love
Fly free now white dove
In spite of both of us
Trust was your white space

Chemical
Windowsill
The mantle of pills
Close the deal
Stay still
Play along
She says she will
