un-Deliever

Close the Black Gate!
Close the Black Gate!

You are officially late.
I've been waiting
oh so long.

Your words will no longer be considered.
You waited too long.

You say, "It's candy!"
But I feel sour.

This is how it feels
This is how it feels

Closing with a bang
And a whimper!

With a lie
and a shudder!

With an enemy
that's a brother!

Free lines, Free lines
Broken lines
Fragmented sentences

See you
see you play
see you play short phrases
Play, now, play!

And swing the broken words

Close the
Close
the
Close the Black
Black
stutter
Close
stutter
shudder
strutter
the
Black
Break
Gate!
fate
rate
mate

Your late--
