This is a little poem I wrote while reading Hannibal for the first time.
It's kind of long, but I think it's ok. It's about how people view Starling
and her life, and how blind they can be to the truth, when she is living a
lie. Also kind of directed to her father. Tell me what you think!
Fly Away Starling- (title inspired by my friend)
Can't hide behind those hazel eyes
Their darkness cannot hide the pain
Won't give you shit about the hard times
She's got no reason to complain
All the money and the glamour
One would think she's got it all
One more crack will bring her lower
One more step and she will fall
Pretty Agent in the unit
Made famous from one interview
Acting, laughing, smiling fakeness
All of it she did for you
Time is priceless and depressing
Articles claiming careless love
Floating in them, under, and between them
Flowing over and above
Every lie that they where making
Someone had to pay this lot
All is taken, none is given
Leaving less than what she's got
If he comes back she knows what to do
Leave with him or make him stay
Soon to be flying with no more sadness
All her tears would go away
So then she'll let them cry in sadness
For the missing girl who chose to go
No one would stop her and wouldn't know to
Leading to the splendid show
Among the crowd she'd blend in with him
Walking with him in the rain
But none of this will ever happen
She's a saddened Angel once again
When he comes she doesn't fight it
She just takes off and now they know
She never lived the life she wanted
It was all a senseless show
She took his hand and kissed his lips
They soared above the crystal sky
Now she's happy, no more crying
Fly away Starling, fly fly fly
