That song came up today.
The one full of cold feet,
And catching up to the beat.
The song where I’ll smile
Thinking of you for a while.
That song is my dream,
The one in my treeless backyard
Where the ground was evergreen
In the middle of winter.
The problem is
After the song.
After I melted into smiles.
Where everyone loved me.
Where I fell,
And could care less.
You made sure I knew the truth.
Not everyone in that room loved me.
I was the peacock,
When you wanted the flamingo.
Everyone wanted the flamingo.
So I cried a bit.
But
That song,
It was my wonderland,
Before I woke up.
