Now, Isn't Life so Beautiful!!

It is the way I drowned you in my optimism,
choked you with my sermon about the better days ahead;
and now he is dead, and I can't find the words to say.
"It is the black fly in your Chardonnay...
...ten thousand spoons
when all you need is a knife..."
Like the open book test
when you don't have your book!
so freaking beautiful!!!
To Allie, because your sorrow is haunting, because you miss him, and I miss the idea of you laughing-I miss believing, and dreaming, and the indulging in shallow talk of spas, and caramel layered icecream. I miss the lie, because the truth seems too disillusioning.
