Picture Perfect
Picture Perfect The picture you like Framed upon the wall Yellowed and crumbling Never to be again The background masked Behind lifeless eyes You chose never to see The frame--warped Contorting reality & dream The wind of the world Fades into black Once bright colors Fade into oblivion Scenery once scenic Now a nightmare Fingerprints smudge the perfect picture Into whirlpools of grey Frame illusions So clear of truth Picture Perfect
