SADNESS BADNESS OH WHERE IS GLADNESS

ONLY A FEW MONTHS AGO I WAS A SMALL BLONDE CURLY HAIRED GIRL
IN A BRIGHTLY STRIPED SUNDRESS TAKING A TWIRL
PLAYING HERE WITH HAPPY SOUNDS NEW FRIENDS AND LAUGHTER
NOW I HEAR A DIRGE IN THE DISTANCE AND FEAR THE COMING SLAUGHTER
I WAS AN INNOCENT CHILD WITH AN INFINITE PEPPERMINT STICK
I WAS IN LOVE IT WAS SUMMER MY STOCKS WERE UP AND HUBERT WASNT SICK

IT IS DANK WINTER NOW STILL HOPING THE SUNDRESS GIRL RUNS OUTSIDE
COLD THUNDER HAILSTORMS AVALANCHES DEADLY MUDSLIDES
STUMBLES TUMBLES FUMBLES HEADFIRST INTO A MUDDY PUDDLE
PEPPERMINT STICK SMASHED AND BROKEN STUBBED TOE CRYING NEEDS A CUDDLE

HEADFIRST SPLASHING INTO THE PUDDLE IT BECOMES A MIRROR
A TIRED AND BROKEN INFINITELY OLDER SUNKEN WOMAN LOOKS BACK AT HER
WHERE DID YOUTH OPTIMISM AND SUMMER GO
NO LOVE NO SANTA NO HO HO HO JUST THROBBING PAIN NO SKIN ON HER TOE

SHE DOES NOT HEAR THE TINKLING MUSIC OF THE ICE CREAM TRUCK
NO ICE LOLLIES NO PEPPERMINT STICKS NOTHING HAPPY TO SUCK
NO MORE SUNDRESSES SUNNY EVENINGS NO PLASTIC BLOW-UP POOLS
NO ONE TO HOLD HER CONSOLE HER NO SPRINKLERS TO RUN THROUGH

HER FRACTURED HEART IMMOBILIZED IN A BLOCK OF ICE
LIFE AN UNLUCKY ROLL OF LIARS DICE
WINTER COLORLESS ENDLESS
LIFE RELENTLESS HER NERVE ENDINGS SENSELESS

WE ARE ALL FRAGILE AND DEFENSELESS
