When you're young, it's different
When you grow, you realize, it's different
The difference is in the miles
And in the lost smiles
And in all you saw as a child
And in how you lose the side of you, wild
When you're old, it's different
When you lose youth,
Things you used to do are uncouth
Travel south or travel west
They don't do it, till you do it on the treasure chest
When you're dying, it's different
The will was for the girl
Who was your pearl
Now that you'll be gone
Someone else will give the 'come-ons'
WHAT DID SHE REALLY DO
SCREW THE SOUL AND MAKE ADO
WHAT DID SHE REALLY MEAN
PLEASE THE HEART AND STAY BEHIND A SCREEN
SCREAM FROM WHERE YOU ARE
DID YOU BELONG TO HER AS HER'S
DREAM FROM WHERE YOU ARE
DID SHE BELONG TO YOU, OR YOUR CURSE
When you are here, in the present
Losing out ground, to be God-sent
Would she or you consent
To be a vent to her discontent
Lend her the most precious moment
Not that it was so meant
WHAT DID SHE REALLY DO
SCREW YOUR SOUL AND MAKE ADO
WHAT DID SHE REALLY MEAN
TEASE THE HEART AND WEAR A SCREEN

I would like to know about this in detail, if you will.
ReplyDeleteThe stanzas in uppercaps are confusing the ones in the lowercaps.
:(
This is about a girl I used to know and my experience with her. eg: How I was a fool when I was young, and how it all seems different, now when I am older, all in context to her. Anywhere in this piece, when the word 'You' appears, I am referring to myself. i.e. in this piece 'You' = 'I' i.e. me. The Upper case is where I accuse her of hurting me, to cut a long story short, that is. Thanks for being curious.
