She seemed so happy and free,
but when they sang together,
the music sounded as melting candle wax straight off of a horror film,
with all the minor clashing chords,
It was like knights blundering in the bleak of night.
I just wanted to drop deep, deep, down, into a hole of unrecognition...
and quiet.
But, instead I smiled and said I was "having fun."
It was fun, if I was delusional.
It wasn't a white lie but it wasn't a black lie either?
Oh...
Why must I suffer through the flux of tumultuous awkward evenings?
