perfect

A perfect house
With two stories, twelve rooms
Affluence of space

A perfect family
On the facade, but it's
All a charade

A perfect pretense
There's no love, there is
Only distance, tension

A perfect scheme
She stays for his money
He hardly exists

A perfect waste
To treat love, to live
Life like this

A perfect tragedy
Too damn selfish to consider
The innocent children
