and was it so
bad?
when you ended
up
with such smooth
fingers, your
mind
a merry
oyster
and glistening
within,
the pearl?
tell me, you, have i
never expressed my
gratitude?
through teeth chipping
and yellow like
old paint
have i
really never
really never
when the night has come
and the land is dark
and the moon is the only light we'll see
no i won't be afraid
no i won't shed a tear
just as long as you
stand by me
stand by me
