Only Child

Looks like a lonely smile, just maybe a only child As my days go by, as my hour’s blossom At times in this open space I’d rather play possum In your presence my glass is full Half and hour later your past in nearly consumed Like concrete my emotions extract and expand And when I’ve become more that we could bear My life lead contract is what you demand Looks like a lonely child, and could be the only smile Perhaps we could throw time into reverse Relax and undermine this unforgiving curse If nothing at all seems any worse Then we shouldn’t be privileged to hurt Life, lice, more of timely disease A worrier finally at ease An escape requires the keys to theses haunted seas The only pleasure that taunted me Looks like a lonely smile, just maybe an only child Should this daylight torment or burn my eyes Would you pay to see my lessons learned through lies? Should this carpet decide not to warm my feet Then I shall prepare to watch my health swarm in defeat
