Did You Not Know?

by Madelleine Müller

I was hypnotised by the sound of two people
My mind was drowned by the sound of humans tugging at their hearts

My skin turned blue at the sight of the sun going down
Both my legs went numb when they came and took my old world away

Did you not know?
That the worms they ate away my clowns
I see them wandering the streets to find others to feed on and take
Only to wither away
But you’re not here

The storms grew loud as Thor descended and spoke on my behalf
And the flowers died where you left your shoes the day my demons arrived

Did you not know?
That the worms they ate away my clowns
I see them wandering the streets to find others to feed on and take
Only to wither away
But you’re not here

Did you not know?
That the worms they ate away my clowns
I see them wondering the streets to find others to feed on and take
Only to wither away
But you’re not here
