a mask over a pretty face
blank stares as the pale beauties dance
surrounded by the darkness
spotlights made by the stars
around and around
the long flowing skirts twirling
empty eyes as always
fingertips dripping with red sugar
the grieving audience held captive by the dance of the dead
the dance tells a story
a story of dread
filled with deceit
a life filled with lies
always acting
putting on a show
wearing a mask
a mask over lifeless eyes
