Can you remember
what the future held
a little candy ring
in a mystic ocean shell
But they were anesthetized
and slowly washed away
And left all the poison in
the sand in which I played
I don't mind
falling down
and scraping off my knees
Scars and stitches always fade
and oh they strengthen me
with my eyes as wide as pearls
my only centerpiece
is taken like
the dead man's arm
and tossed
into the sea
Write me a letter
dot your i's and cross your t's
nothing was everything to me
But under the monsters claws
and in between his teeth was
the shadow and the sihlouette
of what I thought I'd be.
