Crumpled Wings

pink skin and canaries
little girl smiles and balloons
candy, Candy come here
stay a while
with me.

pink skin and butterflies
growing tired so quickly, anymore
candy, Candy I need you
share your warmth
share your light

pink skin and a summer day
curtains drawn to keep it night
Candy, candy lies by me
sweet blush gone
youth's blood sweet.

Dead flesh and crumpled wings
full moon glows through gold champagne
candy, Candy stay with me
for the rest of your life
unlife, unlife.
