how do you

how do you do it?
tough as ever,
cool as i've never seen you
without the ability to offer me anything.

i stand, behind
lost to the darkness
cloaked by it's beauty.
it keeping my love for you.

i watch you, dancing through the lights
enchanting as you are,
glowing like a god amidst your people.

you are worshiped here.
in the arms of their praise,
no wonder you love it here.
far removed from the reality of your order.

no matter how hard you try
you will never be seen in the lights
that bath you here.

they will never lick over you.
making you taste of the things
that these people crave.

they hear your heart,
they know your move.
they dance frenzied in circles
dropping to your feet,
and still they carry on.
lost in the trance.
full on the drink
that made them thirst for your love
to began with.

before - after
