Kate Cornwell: Stories of my life

Broken Glass

Glass strewn across town Where everyone could get hurt When the stars go blue

When the cows came home I wanted to take one down Where they all eat well

Passing out freedom Like candy canes and sugar Please do not ask why

I never liked parties But I seemed to always show up Over fear of being reprimanded

Do you remember Remember the times we had When we laughed and cried

When you told me the truth I didn’t want to listen Snow gently falling

Hearts badly breaking Running away with pieces Never turning back

Gnomes went travelling From house to house. Lawn to lawn. Never ask questions.

I wanted to know Why you were not here for me I wish I knew why

I want to say no You were not available Do not ask questions
