Candy Dish, Karyn Oliver Lehr 2009

You are a kid

I am a candy dish

Which is to say

That I won't be missed

When I'm out of sight

I'm out of mind again

Which is to say

That you don't have time, for this 
No you don't have time, for this
This time



You are the ash

I am on fire again

Which is to say

That I'm all aglow

While you only smoke

You draw me to burn again

Which is to say

That you never learned, to burn

No you never learned, to burn

Real slow



I was all curves and temptation

You were all trouble and woe

I should have known from the start

Just how it would go



For you are the kid
I am the candy dish

Which is to say

That you won't be missed

When I'm out of sight

I'm off your mind again

Which is to say

That I don't have time, for this

No I don't have time, for this

This time
