Dark Times Long Forgotten
Electric lace is filling the sky so bright
 While clouds make night darker than night
 Neither star nor moon is within your sight
 The thunder rolls and proclaims their might
 And day will sorely lose its bravest fight;
 May none be able to hear your lonely plight.
 
 Below never has all seemed ever so dead
 But you seem to think it is all in your head
 Remembering the book what you had once read
 Thinking the monster has not yet been fed
 So you curl up, frightened in your warm bed;
 May you never hope to safety will you be led.
 
 Bullies converge and make a horrible team
 Blank papers band together and stack into a ream
 Reality is on the verge of bursting the seam
 You wish of the absent sun but a single beam
 And you yearn so dearly for another happier dream;
 May you never see anything but berries and cream.
 
 They always say that it was only another jest
 And silent birds abandon there highest nests
 While all your friends leave for a lasting quest
 Remember that the sun sets far in the West
 So lonely you cower inside away from the fest;
 May you never have anything but the perfect best.
 
 Far away lonely wolves howl their chilling call
 Just as you remember fondly the old music hall
 And hug you do a just found favorite doll
 So the tree grows slowly, inch by inch, so tall
 Hiding your faint thoughts behind a steel wall;
 May you never lose nor forget it all.
 
 The horse throws her cruel rider mid-buck
 Misbehaving children cry as they are struck
 The once clear pool is polluted with horrid muck
 Calling its loneliness above is the free-flying duck
 You reach out to the last innocent rose to pluck;
 May you never lose your ever-lasting luck.
 
 Just as a forgotten friend had once worriedly penned
 One must not cower hidden, but must learn to defend
 Listen you should have, or for help you must freely send
 Yet so little of your attention to it did you then lend
 But a freshly broken heart of hope you must now mend;
 May you never have to think of and early end.
 
 Breaks the smooth water does a single lone fin
 As dolphins attempt to teach you how to swim
 Inviting you as though you are their long lost twin
 You can long forget that single horrible evil sin
 And forget where you have long since been;
 May you never have to forget your true kin.
