lily dear, you've been sleeping
since the second the sun stepped up to see
over hills so enormous
that you couldn't bare to lift your feet
just a minor procedure
it could cost you the thread that keeps the ends
but when life gets too hard for you
you seem fit to test your luck again
hear me out and settle down
sweetheart tell me what's been on your mind
worries that you meant to leave behind
they say boy you'll get what you expect if you just want it hard enough
and if the phrase is days away you'll wait a lifetime if you want
you should be scared, you should be wary
of the things you choose to say
if you stay away
