...

When the lids become heavy

and the eggs turn a shade of red
...

His pain comes with no gain,

and his blackballed presence has become my greatest bane
...

'Look deep into my eyes',
the boy whispers,
'and read our love story that will never lie'
...

I never did know you meant so much to me,
Well because i never made time to really see
I had you with me each blessed day
and yet, i never said what i had to say.
