Neglect

First time I saw your face
And felt your effervescent grace
I didn’t know just what to say
So I stood and blushed instead

We traveled to enchanted lands
Through lilies as we’re holding hands
And if you don’t have any plans
I’d marry you today

Looking past the day-glow edge
I climbed upon a lonely hedge
Banished am I to the dead
That lived and loved
And then put themselves
To bed

I tried to find your peppermint eyes
In veils dark with deceit and lies
You just stood and ignored the cries
Of my bleeding heart

Looking past the day-glow edge
I climbed upon a lonely hedge
Banished am I to the dead
That lived and loved
And then put themselves
To bed

You smiled your wicked smile at me
And all the time I couldn’t see
How anyone could be so mean
It tears me all apart

Looking past the day-glow edge
I climbed upon a lonely hedge
Banished am I to the dead
That lived and loved
And then put themselves
To bed
