Metaphor For Life
Posted by Josh on September 7, 2008
You’re just the first one to fall
Breaking your blonde but filthy crown
As you decend against a wall
Deceitful? You knew of the truth
A calypso of disgrace
Your tears turn acidic
Melting down your face
How do you say..
First come, first learn?
Little did they know
They were lining up to burn
“Make it stop”
The pain or the pleasure?
“Give me more”
The plague or the treasure?
The good, the bad
The in-between purgatory
All lend their hands
To your fairy tale story
Creeping, seething
Follows in your footsteps I see
You taught it well
But you couldn’t make it believe
The Cat’s in the cradle
With your impending doom
A mandamus?
I just asked you to leave the room
Count to six and die
Only five of them are blanks
Or was it, five aren’t?
Either way, it ends in angst
I love you, the difference is
I never asked you for proof
Don’t need to tell me you love me
You, molotov cocktail of romance you
Its good to enjoy a laugh
Wish I knew what its like
Diamond? Try limestone
That’s my metaphor for life
