about

You should have met me when I was nice
The day before the sun came and burned my freckled life

You should have known me when I was good
But when Bad crept in the Good left as quickly as she could

And if I’m ever sweet again
I could call and you could have me in
But my hands aren’t a telephone
My face is an airstrip for fears
And the truth makes you cry

You should have kissed me when I was young
‘Cuz now this mouth is scarred form all the damage that it’s done

You wouldn’t know me when I was kind
The World and I were lovers like the dumb leading the blind

You would have seen me with a smile
But one by one teeth fell into the tooth pile

…And cry
Tears on the page while you cry…
With nothing to say, you just – Cry
Maybe someday, til then
Farewell lovers and friends
The roses all have the same end

You should avoid me at this stage
One bad dream away from just a corpse bloated with rage

You should see me down the road
Running from my broken heart with the Christmas gifts I stole

- Rik Johnson
