The Nest

Remember when you had cooties?
Way back when I was shy?
That time years when darkness made me cry?

And remember days we sat laughing
Without a single worry,
Without a single care
It seemed like the two of us
Would always be a perfect pair.

But these days our sheets are tangled
And life is far from kind
And it seems all we can think about
Are things we left behind.

Our innocence is gone now
It seems to have left long ago
And now we share a secret
No one else can ever know.

We are bound by a memory
One that never goes to rest
It sits upon our thoughts all day
Tucked away within the nest.

The the nest is full of anger
The nest is full of pain
The nest is full of blackness
Determined to drive me insane.

How I wish you still had cooties
How I wish I was still shy
How nice it must be when darkness
Is your biggest reason to cry.
