Flower Moon by Le Tits Now
A marriage of resentment
Life without satisfaction
A war of attrition
Until Frank took drastic action
Couldn’t divorce Jenny
So he made her disappear:
Televised police appeal,
Crocodile tears.
Guilt became Frank’s prison
He recalled his wedding vows
The promises he’d broken
Echoed through his empty house
At the vigil
One face cut through the mist
She was a dead ringer
For her dear departed sister
Oh the flower moon
Throws its light
Into the night
As May turns to June
Oh the flower moon
An unmarked grave
Where Jenny lays
Her makeshift tomb
(if these trees could speak the truth
but there’s no witness in the woods
within the thicket lies the proof
a patch of earth where nothing blooms)
Through moonlit woods
Frank stumbled to the place where Jenny lay
Though undeserved
He would beg forgiveness anyway
But through the trees
He was shocked to see an apparition
Jenny’s pale face
Too much for his heart condition
Oh the flower moon
Throws its light
Into the night
As love turns to ruin
Oh the flower moon
Frank’s heart gave out
On Jenny’s grave out
In forest gloom
As life faded from Frank’s eyes
The ghost bent down to witness his demise
The last thing he heard, that final whisper:
“Frank, what did you do to my sister?”
