I know you care,

I can see it in the way you stare.

You promised you’d always be there

This pain is too much too bear.

 .

Tinted windows,

Spray painted walls,

Howling widows,

Broken dirty dolls.

 .

Fresh clean air,

Polished new chairs,

Golden chandeliers,

No room for fears.

 .

Forbidden kisses under the moonlight,

My golden secret knight,

Will make everything alright.

 .

You work under the sunlight,

I work somewhere bright.

 .

Mud on your face,

Soul full of grace,

Love me in your embrace,

Darling, you are no disgrace.

 .

No, no, no, don’t run away,

Don’t listen to what they say,

Darling, why can’t you stay?

 .

Father, no let me go,

He’s my Monroe,

My Joe,

He caused me to grow.

 .

Four years come and pass,

I thought we would last.

Who cares about high, middle or lower class?

I thought I was winning when I was really coming in last.

Oh how time goes by fast.
