Why fight a Crimson Noose.

Why fight
A Crimson
Noose
this tight..

With gangly
Arms so
frail?

Or pretend
to Love A
Summer's Night.

When Your
Heart
Freezes In
A Solitary
Hell!!

(in Want
of Genuine
Light.)
__

Why
Pretend The
Meaning seems
Clear?..

after singing
A Song like
"Mocking-
Bird Suicide,"

for all The
World to
Hear!!

The
answer
Differs
each time
I ask..

sometimes
I cry...

(other times
Laugh.)

and always
wonder if
there's more
Horror than
Humor in that!

( as
The Crimson
Noose just
Tightens.)
