Merry go round

I grasp on to my horse

It is agile and kind

loves to go around in circles

through the Merry go round

Flashes of moving faces

Flashes of high-spirited horses

going around and around

through the Merry go round

I begin to feel a little dizzy

But I desire it

I wave at my friend

as she watches me

from the distance

smiling and so exquisite

and she joins me

galloping around with her horse

so freely

in the midst of the turning

and twirling

I watch her smile fall to the ground

her hair turns dull and a little gray

I watch as she stares me down

Not a word to say

but a deadly eye

She slowly creeps up

maneuvering

and spinning

as she turns into the devil

and picks up her smile

around and around

through the Merry go round

twirling and spinning

turning and spiraling

she watches as

I collapse to the ground
