Perks Of Being A Dull FlowerA Poem by Joe GibsonThe Perks Of Being, A Dull Flower She said she’s always wanted to f**k a poet mine never come true so who am I to deny dreams? deviated words slithered through my ears accompanied by the howling of the brisk wind my eyes were fixed to the enigmatic lights but i’m almost certain in the very corner of my eye she was biting her rose lips pull into this parking lot she almost sang those words followed by a forced giggle so I complied instinctively but as if tranced now what? as if my tattered mind knew not the blatant answer she only smiled that god damn smile that whispered so many things but know this roses aren't always red and violets are in fact violet and somehow I fell victim to the siren A hug led to a kiss that god damn kiss the ruined my fairy tale and burned the pages leaving me irresolute with no happy ending no glass slippers just a god damn poisoned apple bruised neck and once again a broken heart but if you asked if it was worth it I’d still say yes. .
