I try my best to not hurt you
To be good and start anew,
Someday I am gonna be proud
Showing you off to the crowd
But baby, sometimes I get so sad
I forget myself and act real bad
A terrible exam or a horror flick
It is poor you that I forever pick
I crush and bite and tear and chew
It pains me just like it does for you.
I want you grown pretty and tall
Yet, I totally forget it by nightfall
There you crumble jailed by teeth
Your tips reddening at your death.
I paint to keep your glossy charm
Bitter, but they seldom sound the alarm.
I sit here all alone doing the mourning
'My stunted nails' - A late warning
