Nothing can compare to the hug of a father
Nothing can compare to the lullabies of a mother
Nothing can compare to the joys of childhood
Nothing can compare to the feelings that come from life
I am thankful for the glorious life I live
I sigh
I open my eyes
And I thank God for that heavenly fantasy

Frustrated shouts and the cries of a hurt baby
Frantic runs up and down the stairs
Tears on her shoulder as she gets the story
Not from him but from the three-year-old
"I am more of a parent than my father ever will be,"
Thought the child

Under the grape tree he sits
His wrists gleaming from the slits
He watches the sky and counts to seven
He wonders how many days until he gets to heaven
He'll sit there for eternity and never get bored
He'll watch the sky forevermore

The cockroches in my room wear pink ribbon
They look pretty as they crawl up my legs
I trace seven seven seven
I smile when they're on my knees
I gladly let them spread their disease
But only because they like me
The cockroches in my room are my friends
I'm sure they'll stick around until the end
Of my sad pathetic life
They might go to heaven, so I'll continue tracing seven's
Can't decide on a title lol

I come across a broken beach
The roses there smell of peach
I walk the path across the sandy shore
The sand is the deep green of evermore
Lunar light glistens on my skin
It purifies where whatever is withiring
Within the chamber of my ribcage
The heart that decays
Moon lilies bloom on my skin
In this realm night has no middle
No end
No beginning
So on the shore I am sitting
Moon-kissed skin is never tan
I bury my legs into the sand
I wade in the wind
It tickles my skin
I feel the hand
Of a man
Pick me from the sand
My place
And plop me in a glass vase

Here I am again
Alone in a darkend room
I know I like silence
But I'd rather be with you
I hear voices and laughter
And I wish I wasn't such a pushover
God, I might start crying
If it weren't for mascara and eyeliner stopping me from trying
I tell myself it won't happen again
But I'm used to it now
The darkness is my friend
My only company

"What is wrong with you?" she wanted to shout
"How could you do this to me?" she wanted to shout
"I'm a child too!" she wanted to shout
"You're the adults, why do you burden me?" she wanted to shout
"Love you too, goodnight," she said instead
