Conversations With Emily

Hey pretty what's on your mind

nothing here an endless night

I'm fed up and sick tired of me my

thin boy voice ruins everything

Oh sweetheart don't say such things

we don't know who's listening

don't talk don't smile silently walk

on by my Emily says,

"Oh Ladd whats has she done to

my darling innocent boy

my favorite late night someone."

I wish she were here to kiss me and scream

dammit Ladd I need you back

Emma rolls over in bed and says,

"Is it really so bad?".

Hey pretty are you secretly sad

questions I dare not ask

I'm fed up and sick so tierd of

this such simple things I miss

Oh sweetheart don't say such things

we don't know who's listening

the only thing that can fill this gap

is the one who doesn't want me back

my Emily says,

"Oh Ladd how long can this last."

As long as it takes to get that attention

so safe at last I wish she were

here to hold me and scream

dammit Ladd I need you back but

Emma rolls over in bed and says,

"you don't want that."

so here is my advice to you

this should have turned out different

but it didn't so get over it

but don't you find it reassuring

that one consolation growing my darling

boy it won't snow where she is going.
