i can't believe all the good things that you do for me

sat back in a chair

like a princess from a faraway place

nobody's nice

when you're older your heart turns to ice

and shut out what they say

they're too dumb to mean it anyway



when we were kids

we hated things our sisters did

backyard summer pools

and christmases were beautiful

and the sentiment

of coloured mirrored ornaments

and the open drapes

look out on frozen farmhouse landscapes



have you forgotten how to love yourself?
