how can you just be gone?when we had just begunsoft sparkling feelingyesterday you made me redi was over the moonin my headand now it's all come down to thisso don't forget me pleasebecause i kept the starshid them where i can't find themhave lost them nowi miss feeling that waywarm, fuzzy like a summer dreamwithout ice creambut you've lost meso dim the nightlight
Once there was a boy;Who couldn't lie,But manipulate.Indoors he put up stars,While outdoors he was late.He hung out with introverts at bars;Extroverts? He made them waitChanged he masks,Before anyone asks,With effortlessness of a juggler.As casual guy heGot his way, oh glee!He dressed up to fulfil,A hole he couldn't even feelOut of way he kept all spiteHid at home away from light
The warm sun is failing, the bleak wind is wailing,The bare boughs are sighing, the pale flowers are dying,And the YearOn the earth her death-bed, in a shroud of leaves dead,Is lying.Come, Months, come away,From November to May,In your saddest array;Follow the bierOf the dead cold Year,And like dim shadows watch by her sepulchre.The chill rain is falling, the nipped worm is crawling,The rivers are swelling, the thunder is knellingFor the Year;The blithe swallows are flown, and the lizards each gone
I never lost as much but twice,And that was in the sod.Twice have I stood a beggarBefore the door of God!Angels -- twice descendingReimbursed my store --Burglar! Banker -- Father!I am poor once more!
The weight of misfortune has stooped my shouldersBut I don’t intend to stop for a good while yet;I afflict my own destinyAnd don’t want anyone to mourn for my fate.I’ve made peace with God on my lossesAnd agreed with him on the epitaphsThat should be written about my senseless wars.
