scarlette Phoenix (1987 March 25 / Cape Town)

it's been so long
since she's had fun
not the innocent kind where
you play and run

the kind of fun
that requires a friend
the kind of fun that you wish
would never end

with the friend
that you hold dear
who can make you smile
each time they're near

playtime stopped
when she walked away
because her friend
started to stray

now alone and in need of help
trying to find a friend
who'll play the game
to no end
