499..5...

when i was a kindergarten kid
bedtime meant "let's count sheep!"
the lovely white fluff leapt like ballerinas
over the rainbow, one by one
and before i knew i was in dreamland

after thousands thousands of nights
who could have known
the innocent lambs gave way to nightmares?
the colours drained away
just as the mascara ran after each tear

more than an ocean away i lie in bed
recounting the days relive each story
which is the last smile that was truthfully meant for me?
dolce vita, the time spent with you evaporated
condensing into a pool of bitterness

day one, we met...
a tale about the beginning of the end
silent like the thief of the night

this is an unsung song

till the very last day of January



...almost 500 days of summer.
