LAURA KARNIVA

The day you cracked your two front teeth,

Was the day you finally learnt,

That common sense doesn't come,

From the edge of a concrete curb.

You shed your warmest welcome,

For the coldest of farewells;

You always wanted to be cherished,

But I wished you'd sleep in Hell.

Still I stumbled along beside you,

Under the firmest of beliefs,

That we all hate who love,

And become who we don't want to be.

You longed to be a legend,

To shine under a starlit beam.

But my mother cried to have me,

And that proves I'm supreme.

Sometimes I forget that you exist,

Please forgive my memory,

But if I remember, I must admit,

I think of you as the enemy.

A friendship such as ours,

I hope to never again endure,

For my own sorry company,

Is worth a million of you.

 

We were born to leave this playground,

We were born to be different.

We were born to be replaceable,

And we will die with discontent.

 

You were my convenience,

And I was your fondest friend,

But although our forevers faded,

We'll never meet our ends.
