Phosphorescence = Perpetuity?<br />

by Moon Yiu<br />

Sin<strong>is</strong>ter love<br />

loving animosity<br />

solemn humour<br />

The lie underneath your eyes<br />

telling me not to cry<br />

you pulled me close and held me tight<br />

telling me I’m <strong>the</strong> rose that shines at night<br />

A prom<strong>is</strong>e that becomes an escape<br />

a ring with phosphorescence<br />

<strong>the</strong> phosphorescence that rings around my finger<br />

turned Cinderella into a princess in white<br />

Why?<br />

why?<br />

an eternal lie...<br />

Leaving me alone,<br />

standing at <strong>the</strong> centre of <strong>the</strong> centre,<br />

in <strong>the</strong> middle<br />

of <strong>the</strong> galilee, <strong>the</strong> wedding chamber,<br />

in <strong>the</strong> middle<br />

of <strong>the</strong> dreadful world.<br />

I had never noticed that <strong>the</strong> gleam was not phosphorescence.<br />

Instead<br />

it <strong>is</strong> fluorescence.<br />

That forbidden energy from your heart.<br />
