Commercial Shade

By With love_Crow

The lipstick stains left on this glass is like
Hypocrisy, yet is not your shade
Nor is innocence and so you linger
Between the colors of earth and infinity

Do you exist there? We'll never know
Cause your transparent nature blinds our eyes
Or specifically mine, but in ignorance
I see everything and nothing

Though you're like danger in the distance
Gleaming like a siren of some sort
Or maybe that light is from your heavenly grace
But wings can't get you far enough

Not away from yourself or from the strangers
Walking in a vice city, cloaked in deep silhouette
Watching with eyes that scrutinize with
Multicolor judgment and aging constitutions

But who can deny a pretty face?
What crawls beneath is your business
We won't dig cause we'll hit water soon enough
And we're already drowning in our own shit

So smile princess, your chariot awaits
To snatch you up into an oblivious nightmare
With commercial friendship and disconnected walkways
Just say your prayer; the show must go on.
