Bitter Almonds

U2's So Cruel
only lines I'd change are "I'm only hangin on to watch you go down" other than that... Enjoy. 


Does she think he doesn’t know?
Does she think he doesn’t see?
Her fact defying motions
In her glass menagerie.

Neighborhood filled
With signs for sale
Despite claims
Of all is well
She is not represented

House half lit
Surrounding Christmas Tree
Does more than
Tell
The tale

Yet

All is well
All is good
All is in place
Just as it should

Be

But it isn’t

In his absence, she retreats
As a stone fish
Singing siren song
Where past and future
Remain a wish
You see?
And present is forgotten
In the glass menagerie

Yet

All is well
All is good
All is in place
Just as it should

Be

But it isn’t

Expendable men
With expendable dreams
All serve to fill
The vapid void

Does she think he doesn’t know?
Does she think he doesn’t see?
Her fact defying motions
In her glass menagerie.
