In a second from now...

In a second from now
The fog will feel like the taste you smell
You'll regret the spell, our years
I'll affirm your fears.

In a second from now
Your sparkling eye, like a dancing Christmas tree ball
Will fall from the height of the pedestal you put me on.

In a second from now
Your curled lip, your moistened smile
Like a naked moon will fade in a black frown
Like the clamoring clown you made me.

In a second from now
You'll know the last chance has surpassed, and its time
I've plucked up my courage, my youth, and this line...

In a second from now
The fog will feel like the taste you smell
You'll regret the spell, our years
I'll affirm your fears - and say goodbye.
