Soundtrack
For one so articulate and one so intelligent
For one with the instinctive knack of picking the right word
To use at the right time, for the right person
Words have failed her, she thinks
This is not just another verbal sparring match.
A song would do much better.
Not just one, but a whole let of them, so
She strings them together and playlists them.
That's her message in a bottle.
Compartments
Fire wall, picket fence, electric barbed wire
She's just like you, needing
To build, to protect,
That which is fragile, that which easily dies.
Her love she locked it in a Faberge egg
And fed it to the maleficent dragon with no feelings.
She walks away falsely triumphant
With blue flames licking her heels.
Now she can smile
Function
Socialize.
A momentary glimpse out of the corner of her eye
She blinks it away
Humming Gotye
You're just somebody that she used to know.
