reaching for a cake crumb
swallowing a draught
that completely turned her head
she was running round the roses

of a love that struck a spark
but the tables all kept turning
when he tried to take her hand
in the horrors and delusions
that stalked this troubled land
he loved her all the time
but he had lost his mind
lovers often lose their way
whether they are sane or mad
all is topsy-turvy
when the news is always bad
they race around in shadows
trying to find a light
their dreams become a nightmare
ruining their night
but up above the stars shine out
constellations point the path
if only they could both sit down
gazing up at last
