How dare you come into my life
And take the pain away?
Heartache was all I had to write
My poems are now cliché.
How dare you always make me smile?
I much prefer to brood.
To laugh so much is not my style
You’ve changed my attitude.
How dare you help me sleep at night?
Insomnia’s no more.
My edgy art has lost its bite,
My friends think I’m a bore.
How dare you teach me not to care
What other people say?
Now I’ve become half of one pair
And everything has changed.
