So it's midnight and the tv's on the electronic glow of people on, I'm ignoring words and sounds
It's midnight and the cake is gone my birthday cake with pink and purple sugar frosting, metal fork on scratchy plate in the quiet dark where I celebrate behind its veil
It's midnight and the candle's done consumed by heat and black a river of smoke and I'm ten again you're my friend again and I'm able to love without end, again
It's midnight and I'm a year older and you're a year further behind.
