Burlesque -

Does he ever hear you?

When you take that position,

When you make that face

close your eyes

fold your hands

turn to him like that.

Does he ever hear you,

or does he ever say something back to you?

When you face the forgiver,

and ask to settle this turbulence in heart.

I hear you, even tho'

your prayers are not for me 

I hear you, as if it's like emulation

as if I'm in between this echo of simulation. 

Turn to me, I might change 

this burlesque in life.

Face me, close your eyes.
