Radio

Her voice reached out touching me
Whispered, it came through the speaker
As I heard her siren's song and danced forward
Stepping a jig on the hangman's platform
Realizing that this heart will be rent from me
As I swayed back and forth to the beat
Offering my love up on the chopping block
Will she stop the butcher's knife fall, ending it
Or poke it with the knife, toying with it
Or could she take it home, to nurture it
Until it grows and becomes strong
And has a chance at immortality
Like true love of legend
