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.
