I see you standing there every night

Beside the pillar, half shadows, half light

Yet your body shrieks out intent

Like a signboard. Neon.

….

Barely of legal age

The beast within with makeup you tame

Yet it cannot conceal your rage

Roaring like wildfire. Neon.

….

A peaon to the hunger of the flesh

In hushed tones your body you trade

Yet they cannot barter your soul

Scorching white in agony. Neon.
