Here is Victoria’s recent poem ‘Entertain Us’:
Go ahead and take your bow
We watch you before us
pleasing the crowd
What they want
you give so well
It matters to no one
that creating this
masterpiece
was it's own special hell
Who cares if you
almost lost all control
As long as you leave us
with your soul
Completion was only
to give you some
semblence of relief
who cares if you
had to be consumed
by your own grief
We watch you
leave it all on the stage
We leave with a heart rush
Feeling a little bit crazed
The tortured soul
Before our eyes
We get to witness
it die alittle tonight
This from you
Some piece of your heart
That you give away
the moment you start
The madness and genius
rolled into one
We all know
You really are
Your own blazing sun
The light alone
Belongs only to you
You transfixed us all
And we're entwined
with your muse
Not one bit of you
will we refuse
We want it all
And alittle bit more
And you give it all away
It's why you are
the one whom we adore
The only thing we want is
More more more
Just one more curtain call
You are only here
to entertain us all
As long as you leave us
throughly enthralled
Deeper in love
with you we fall
