Torn curtain

(Verlaine)

Torn Curtain reveals another play.
Torn Curtain, Such an expose!
I'm uncertain when beauty meets abuse.
Torn Curtain loves all ridicule.

Tears... tears rolling back the years
Years... Flowing by like tears.
Tears holding back the years.
Years. The tears I never shed.
The years I've seen before

Torn Curtain giving me the glance.
Torn Curtain bringing on the trance.
I'm not hurting: Holding to the thread.
Torn Curtain lifts me on the tread.

Torn Curtain feels more like a rake.
Torn Curtain - how much does it Take?
Burn it down
Tears, tears. Years, years.
