All My Candles

LP coming soon!

Why go through the drawers?

Things have mellowed out

Before

I spent my teens afool

Let my mother down

Few days

No school

Was there more I could have done?

Maybe left the race I’d won…

Did I miss the last train home?

Too late

To change

Or stay the same

Was there more I could have done?

Thirty days are still a month…

All my candles weigh as none

Too late

To change

Or stay the same
