Daisy's Lament
Who could have thought your resting place would be beside a whore?
Who could have thought your hope in love could have lingered any more?
Greed and fear and lust and veneer
Trump love in all cases
I couldn't have continued this double life
This Queen hasn't two faces
And yet a certain lament
Corrodes my swan now sorrowful song
What if love could have saved me?
And I was the one who was wrong?
Status and attention
Tenderness and love
Who could really blame a girl?
For getting them mixed up?
The memories have faded and tumbled into the ash
The poverty of wealth conceals itself with ultimate panache
Maybe I almost had it once,
But isn't my safety so much better?
Maybe I could have been happy,
But happiness is a conceited endeavor!
And the money was fake.
Though you rest now
You have always laid beneath my feet
For that you cannot
Cannot rest in peace
I could not open my eyes to see
The person you turned out to be
Somehow you wanted endlessly
This shallow hollow shell of me
How could you not know?
How could you not tell?
I wanted not to be controlled by fear
But so has passed another year
And though I loved you ever still
Still
Still I run
A song I wrote for Daisy. It was better in the shower. It was really lyrical and poetic on the spot, but I couldn't transliterate it and it ended up like this. Add your own melody and enjoy! ~S
