Perfect Flaw
Perfect Flaw
December 26, 2016
By Laura D
Laughing at the great tragedy that is our lives
Roaring down the subway tunnel of our hearts
Piercing through agony that consumes our wives
Killer in me is the killer in you; you said from the start
She took my heart, so I let her guide the way
He ran her out of town that cold November day
When I lost the former tense without ever looking back
I lost my innocense through all the things I never lacked
What do I mean, this train wreck of a scene?
The words spilling randomly, I just hope you don't take offense
I'm talking about a beautiful, bittersweet dream
The one that never lives in former tense
It's the dream of us now: exactly as we used to be
Too flawed to be an accident; too innocent to be a mistake
But we found each other that cold January day
When you came to Virginia, and Laura first came to wake
This isn't the kind of fairy tale that belongs in a movie or tv
We're Bonnie and Clyde with a dash of Joker and Harely
With stolen hearts, we crashed into each other recklessly
So let's enjoy the sweet embrace, and sing "c'mon ache with me"
