Beautiful Distraction

for 3 lines of of poem taken from blonde redhead's lyrics misery is a butterfly. the rest I wrote

Remember, when we found misery.

We watched her, spread her wings.

And slowly, fly around our room.

And she asked for your gentle mind

Oh why…

Between the lines

Behind a smile

Beneath the truth of a denial

Behind the door, she crys

And crys and crys.

Hello, my friend

You needed me

Hello again, hello again.

The appearance of your affliction rives my ribcage.

The waning and wailing of a small girl afraid.

Listlessness, a passing grievance

Bitterness crept up on us.

Roses are red, violets are blue

But some still do say, that I really love you.

These petals grow back, I tell her faintly.

These petals grow back, these petals grow back.

And when they do their beauty and color will be much more intact

With reality, they will see the sun. Deliquesce the delusion….

I should’ve know better not to listen to that wrathful women.

Beware the winged watcher

I should’ve know better not to, you should’ve known better not to listen

With our ears like a child’s

Don’t worry, she shall be removed.

One day we will sleep soundly here in this room.
