Halloween

The night is still
and the frost it bites my face
i wear my silence like a mask
and murmur like a ghost
“trick or treat”
“trick or treat”
the bitter and the sweet
The carefree days
are distant now
i wear my memories like a shroud
i try to speak but words collapse
echoing
“trick or treat”
“trick or treat”
the bitter and the sweet
I wander though your sadness
gazing at you with scorpion eyes
halloween……halloween
A sweet reminder
in the ice-blue nursery
of a childish murder
of hidden lustre
and she cries
“trick or treat”
“trick or treat”
the bitter and the sweet
I wander through your sadness
gazing at you with scorpion eyes
halloween……halloween
