Dear Daisy

By Drishtee Shah

perfection radiates from your mesmerizingly pristine soul,

drawing people in with your honey-dripping smile, your beautiful facade

oh i wish to be you forever

the desire to exchange places never leaves my quivering body

you've got the touch of silk, the beauty of aphrodite herself

those graceful movements, the everlasting pretentiousness

you wished to be liked, don't you?

you dream of being this entity, this artificial source of hope

Ah, but when we're alone, just you and I

I see through your hideous mask, your deceptive mind

oh my, you're nothing but a liar

so poised and shy, my little flower

then again these things go both ways, don't they?

you grin at my restlessness, you've known me all along

my thoughts always seem to reach you, so delicate and raw

i guess we know how this particular tale goes

mind and body intertwined we head out again

sealing my lips, i watch you charm the world

the people never seem to notice really

all possessed by your vicious act

enthralled by the way you move

I sneer upon your ungodly lie

at the hypocrisy you spew,

my mind chants these words to ensure my soul

oh my 'lovely' daisy,

maybe one day I wont need you
