Tavlor utan ram - Eva Dahlgren

Han sa jag r den lyckligaste

jag vet det r lgn

jag sg hans ansikte i oskyddad smn

han talar i drmmarna

om de vinglsa fglarna

hans liv r ett galleri

dr hnger ramar av guld

runt reproduktioner av liv

utan blod svett och skuld

s ltt han frleder mej

trots att det r yta han visar mej

han sa jag har ftt allting

allt en mnniska vill ha jag ser ett dockskp

med Barbie och Ken

barnflicka barn

Men kan han kallas familjefar

bara fr att en kvinna har

burit hans barn

hans folk r vr verhet

och sedan jag var barn

har jag ftt lra mig att

det r som dom man ska vara

men gamla vrderingar

faller i delar av det jag ser

kostymen r flckad

av ngons otrogna fru

hans egen ligger full i ett intecknat hus

barnen och hunden r sedan lnge borta

att han ser sig som frmer

r en gta

han r redo fr ansiktslyftning

att slta ut de bittra dragen

trots att han lever det goda livet

har han en knsla av att vara bedragen

medan han polerar ramarna

s fanns det ett annat val

tavlor utan ram

He said I'm the happiest

I know it's a lie

I saw his face in unprotected smn

he speaks in dreams

about the wobbly birds

his life is a gallery

there hang frames of gold

around reproductions of life

without blood sweat and guilt

so ltt he delivers me

even though it's the surface he shows me

he said I got everything

everything a human wants I see a dolls cup

with Barbie and Ken

nanny child

But can he be called a family man

just because a woman has

carried his children

his people are ours

and since I was a child

have I been taught to

it's who they should be

but old values

falls into parts of what I see

the suit is patched

of ngon's unfaithful wife

his own lies full in a mortgaged house

the children and the dog are long gone

that he sees himself as frmer

r en gta

he is ready for facelift

to smooth out the bitter features

even though he lives the good life

he has a feeling of being deceived

while polishing the frames

s there was another choice

paintings without frame
