For Lilly (2021)

I never want to see you cry again 
I never want to see the tears 
I never want to hold you while you shake 
Or see real life become your worst fears 

I never want to hurt someone
Because they have hurt you 
But believe me when I say 
It’s something I would do 

I’m sorry for the unexplainable
The things we do not know 
I’m sorry for the wicked ones 
And the seeds of darkness they sow 

I wish I had a magic wand
I wish I was a fairy 
I would wave it, magic sparkle dust 
Then maybe life wouldn’t be so scary
