Victoria

	Victoria, I hate to be the one to tell you this:
	It’s gone beyond
	Everyone’s idea of a joke
	I know you’re here
	On every surface I can smell you near
	The scent of cigarettes and Belvadere
	Victoria
	Morning came, you changed your name
	Into a V
	no one knows
	What you saw, that made your poor
	heart bleed
	Triumphantly
	You did declare your only love was me
	So how could he
	shut you away?
	But when I sing
	I hear you end and then I begin
	It’s sickening
	in a curious way
	But he was strong, his arms were long
	Longer than yours
	What a cruel finishing, diminishing
	Just to be sure
	He’ll know your name
	And I now I know I can feel your pain
	Again and again and again
	What have I done?
	My cell is cold
	I am so empty and unconsoled
	Once was so proud and so very bold
	Oh, Victoria
	I was alive, so many times
	Under your spell
	It’s just as well
	You are gone, I won’t be wrong
	in hell
	All of your ashes still burning
	Voices that call in the night
	I feel as if I have carried you all of my life
	Victoria, I will remember nothing else,
	Victoria, you were the one
