walter chase wakes and shaves
other room death in bloom
nonchalant resteraunt
dinner date meet at eight
cleans the plate maybe she will be the one
brings her home takes her coat
offers drink sees her blink
sniff and hum walters mum
she goes to leave walter pleads
"do you believe that love is eternal?"
a tingle on her skin and the room starts to spin
colors fill the air as she lays down on the stairs
walter strokes her pretty hair
feeding the machine is hard work
walter's tired of the scene
but the voices push him on through the dawn
walter chase smiles and waves
long red hair sad and fair
small talk slows painted toes
to her ear feigned sincere
"do you believe that love is eternal?"
