The Play

I couldn't entertain the Beast for all he wanted I couldn't just pretend that he would slip away No room for voices inside my head unwanted I crawl beneath the earth and rot here where I lay Once I loved you, yet twice we died And I still hold you, deep in these lies Three times I called out, for you to stay Five magics gifted, six times I've changed the title of this play. I sold the memories and the joys of all I held so dear Once I loved you, yet twice we died And I still hold you, deep in these lies Three times I called out, for you to stay Five magics gifted, six times we prayed And everything changed the day I turned around and walked away That darkened beast now paid Seems every man has a price Mine was the thrill Once I loved me, but now I'm shamed A pale figure, lost with no name I cannot find me, travelled too far The play now reads that everything that's blessed is dark
