Black Fly
"It's much to late to save myself from falling..." - Elton John
Every moment of you within those hours
I tried to get control of all my desires
I never believed that you would tell me a lie
With the black fly on your necktie
A warm and gentle touch
You had become my only crutch
I lifted my dreams up to the sky
And I never tried to understand why
I think I became your only crutch
Your attention, your interest, your words and such
Your beautiful smile and my tears were lost
After all this time, now we know what it cost
I was running around
With what I had found
I had to live
With what you could give
I drowned in my dreams
As beautiful as it seemed
These hours still remain
And my desires are still the same
It’s all too much for me to try
With the black fly on your necktie

I once knew a man who collected ties. One of which had a fake plastic Black Fly..on his neck tie.
Much of my poetic inspiration came out of knowing this man - and believing that I loved him.
He was deceptive.
And I was a fool.
