Picking Petals

"So I'm drunk on love"

...

"But I'm sick on envy"

.

.

.

I'm sleeping beauty

I remain in stasis, no kiss

A dream wasted

An apple of Eden tasted

Unanswered calls

And

Lonely halls

Holes in plaster walls

And

One broken china doll

I'm spinning my wheels

With the devil, making deals

"These aren't my heels"

It's her kisses he steals

Shadowed eyes

and

Bold face lies

Holes in your alibis

And

You wouldn't sing me lullabies

I'm not worth your air

This moment, far removed from fair

You said "For you I dare"

It's not into my eyes you stare

Petals of flame

And

2/3 I'm to blame

You said her name

And

Somehow

I have the shame

im on it! and I got it ;P very clever dear - it took me a couple of seconds (damned martini's)

[John Mallett]

The apple of eden metaphor was very effective, and the sleeping beauty analogy was very good in creating the feeling that misplaced love can have, really enjoyed this piece
