A Menagerie

Acres

Compositor: Acres

It all came
Came to me when
Sitting here writing
But where to begin

To tell of the story
Of two lovers entwined
In hopelessness and tragedy
And a past they can't hide

Constantly beset
By misfortune unimaginably
Torn at by forces
With jealous eyes

And a menagerie
Of lies and deception
Their pursuit of perfection
Is hounded by demons

And a fear of rejection
He took her hand
Said to be strong
Looked into her eyes
Kissed her tears
And carried on
