cigarette burns on my hand
they'll recover someday
and i wake up
with bruises on my legs
that no longer cause me pain
for they only make me remember
that one day i fell down the stairs
there's no use in telling me they'll pass
for us little people
who tend to worry about such
that will vanish someday
and choose to forget
even today
i may be the one passing away
with stitches and bruises on my legs
and a cigarette burn on my hand
nobody will know then
where did this girl fall down the stairs
and who had burnt this fool's hand
who wakes up everyday and forgets
then cries for her plans yesterday..
