The Company You Keep (Villanelle) by <{Baba^Yaga}>
I can never stop before I die,
Smashing my head into planets
Living out your greatest lie.
The merry-go-round kids beg "Why?"
As I thrust my skull through granite
I can never stop before I die.
Sure, I'll wear out my grandest tie
To death dance 'pon your magnet
Living out your greatest lie.
You could say I was 'shamed to try;
Then name an artist that truly hasn't,
But I can never stop before I die.
I was bred to burn; as you were to fly...
Watch me light up just to fragment
Living out your greatest lie.
I let it all go with a great big sigh
There is no clear until you sand it
Living out our greatest lie?
I will not stop, though, I will die.
