Masquerade

We're dancing on the edge

Between friends and more than friends.


Don't come any closer,

My mask is on tight.

I know who you are,

But we're strangers tonight.


No I don't love you,

I couldn't if I tried.

And I would never dare,

With the way you almost died.


Blood on the ground,

But we're feeling fine.

When you take my hands,

We slow dance on the line.


We're dancing on the edge

Between friends and more than friends.


Don't say anything,

Some things are best unsaid.

Like what we really are,

If we're really more than friends.


No I don't love you,

I couldn't if I tried.

And I would never dare,

With the way I almost died.


Time is running out,

But we'll make it out, perchance.

The night is almost over,

But let's stay for one more dance.


We're dancing on the edge

Between friends and more than friends.

Our balance is maintained,

At this tightrope masquerade. 



So, in case you were wondering, the image at the top is one of the covers from the web comic 'The Silver Eye', which I have recently become obsessed with.

If you want to read it, (which I HIGHLY recommend), it starts here:  http://www.thesilvereye.com/comic/chapter-1-cover-4/
