O Nymphet

O fighting Nymphet!
Your passion is still burning
And on your knees I fell.
I’m glancing into broken mirrors
Where nymphets cast their spell.

O lovely Nymphet!
Lights of twisted solitude
Are the background to my gain,
And all you see is my stone face
Because you’ll just ignore the pain.

O angry Nymphet!
Be scared! Be sad! Be your old-fashioned
Dreams! Be the fear of being right!
Sweet girl onstage, take a bow and stay,
For he is running from your sight.

O broken Nymphet!
Not enough, and not too far,
You’re falling short of him.
She mesmerized his wandering gaze,
And now she dances on his whim.

O drunken Nymphet!
O the web is real and the bond is tight,
And you’ve surveyed all you thought you could.
The race is won, and you’ve waved the flag,
Just like everyone knew you would.

O precocious Nymphet—
You’re the fire and light of nobody’s world,
So lean your chest towards me.
The heart of this, is your saddest gasp—
There is nothing left to see.

O graceful Nymphet.
I look at you with your eyes here
But I’m drowning in the rush.
Good luck, sweet girl, for it’s all a blur—

And sometimes, the world is too much.
