Elevator - Jack Hardy

Everyone knew that something had cracked

lately they even wrote songs

everyone knew of something she lacked

very few asked what was wrong

almost to a T their lips were all sealed

totally immersed in their game

only using the muse she revealed

refusing to mention it by name

Elfin ears sifting what to keep
long wispy curls hiding spikes
eyes that are always falling asleep
venus de miloing dislikes
all her collections of lyrics with names
tore holes in her confidence game
occasionally brightening her day just the same
refusing to mention it by name

Endless numbers lit up as she passed
lifting her spirits like a jet
everyone said she would never be last
valentines stuffed in her net
all of us knew she collected us all
temporary insanity or blissfully sane
only I knew it to be her downfall
refusing to mention it by name
