Magic Number Nine
Location
Nine…
If you didn’t already know, it’s a magical number
Me,
I’m a magician
No, not your Houdini or Potter
But I can make things disappear
I can make you see the magic behind it all, than just the illusion itself
I can make you believe in the performance I set before your very eyes
Come, and take a look inside my special black top hat
Oh, were you expecting silly rabbits?
Nope
Sorry
Tricks are for kids
I’m not a trickster
But a performer
Never pretender
Nine…
The magic number
A number that sticks out more than anything in my brain right now
Time is only the pure essence of an illusion
But however, life is not an illusion
And making something disappear is not as easy as it may look
Not looking at the essence of time and how it flies by before our every eyes
Can really make you reminisce and dwell on all your regrets
Nine…
Months
Pass us by
So does the magic
No more illusions, just reality
The blunt reality of eliminating the magic that once lived here
My magic used to be here
She had me ready to perform
To take on anything
For her
She…
Was someone who could’ve changed my whole view of the world
Change not only me
But
Change
My
Life
Nine…
Is still magical
But not in the same way as it was months ago
It’ll never mean the same to me or my top hat
Because I’m done with illusions
I’m forced to deal with reality
Which has me thinking that maybe
I’m not as good of a performer as I thought
Time to hang up the cape and toss out the gloves
Nope!
I won’t do that
I’m going to show my assistant that I could’ve gave her everything
I’ll give them a show they’ll never forget
So when her time comes to take a seat and watch me
Perform magic in front of her big, beautiful, innocent eyes
I’ll remind her of the magic number nine
Only this time,
The magic won’t be an illusion
Because she is mine
She is my magic number
