You can fake it for a while,
Bite your tongue and smile,
Like every mother does »» HER «« ugly child.
But » IT STARTS TO « leaking out,
Like spittle from a cloud,
Amassed resentment pelting ounce and pound.
You're entertaining any » DOUBTS «,
'Cause you had to know that I was fond of you,
Fond of Y-O-U,
Though I knew you masked your disdain.
I can see » THE « change was just too hard for us,
Hard for us.
You always had to hold the reigns,
But where I'm headed, you just don't know the way.
So affections fade away,
or do adults just learn to play
The most ridiculous, repulsive games?
»» ALL OUR FAVORITE «« ruddy sons,
And »» THEIR «« double-barreled guns,
You'd better hurry,
Rabbit, run, run, run.
'Cause mincing you is fun,
And there's a lot of hungry hatters in this world set on taking it over
but brittle, thorny stems,
They break before they bend,
And neither one of us is one of them.
