Do You Ever

Look at the walls and wonder if you can stand them another day

Do you ever look around you and not care if you never saw the whole soggy lot again

Do you ever wake with regret wishing you could hold the comfort of the dark closer

For longer, much longer.

Do you ever look back and know they were the good times

Do you ever wonder how you failed to notice the good times slipping away

Do you ever look at cats and dogs and think if not for you

The good times don't last

You don't see them go

You didn't even notice

They were the good times

All the worry, violence and insanity was better than this.

And you look at the cats and dogs and think if not for you

How much longer is too long
