Not Forever, No

she's still looking up at the sky
it's been seventeen years coming
and all she's ever done is try
until the pain was mind-numbing
to always wait
such is her fate

but still she refuses to cry
it will be her unbecoming
she speaks, a lie after a lie
and she is far from succumbing
she will not fail
she can prevail

Fare Well

just a little too tired today 
i've been waiting so long that there's 
an ache that just won't go away
clutching still at my teddy bears 
too tired to cry 
or say goodbye

just a little too sad today 
one place less in musical chairs
"i lost a friend" it's all i say 
it burns too much, endless dares
too sad to try, 
or even lie
