carousel riding

i must have been riding this carousel, riding too fast to see.
this time round and round, spinning the wheel of your memory.

what once was beauty, time has faded quick,
what once was time, beauty stripped.

sweet words of mercy visit me just once more,
so that i may reclaim this impostor whose heart you stole.
shine white light of what could've been,
before rain and poison on the inside set in.
