The most painful part
Is being hit with the memories
Of our candy colored amusement park bliss
Of the innocence
Me just like a princess
Eating pretzels, grabbing coffee
The colors whizzing around our skulls
Buying new dresses.

My clothes have been feeling tight lately
I want to lose the excess
It is sunny out but so cold
I ate half the brownie
Hoping to be transported
It all fades away now
Day by day.

No longer your mermaid
When all I wanted
Was just to be alone with you.
