Countdown
Loony Baby, oh so crazy
Four days and 3 nights ago,
Chilling with me,
On the staircase, our little throne
Only four years, between just you and me.
Cool as can be
Smoother than the slickest white wine
Chocolate skin, so fine every guy wanted a bite
Hurting inside
Why didn’t you tell me?
Loony Baby
Three days and 2 nights ago,
Three dots
upon your lower right brow.
Too cool
with those gangster fools.
White smoke
Black lungs
Promised me you’d stop but that white rod
calls you back.
Blue spots
Dizzy bright spinning light dots
Drunk off crazy stupid love
Chased down with sugar sweets drugs
Too bitter for my taste, thanks.
Loony Baby, where’d you go?
Loony Baby
Two days and 1 night ago,
Saw you walking with two guys I didn’t know
Came home alone
plus one more.
Hidden underneath, a little secret, for three months.
Will you name him after me?
past jokes, fun pokes
became a reality.
Who’s the daddy?
Or does she not know no more?
Loony Baby,
One day I saw you alone, thin and sad
Did he leave?
Did you have too many sweets
in your tummy?
Kicked him out did they?
By the way,
You look beautiful
But your eyes died.
So pretty, so sad.
I wish you were still fat
too, Baby.

Loony Baby
I saw you walking down the street store
cars stop and go
making money for a pay phone.
Such dim light, can’t see what is right
so you left.
Too much blaring noise,
can’t listen
to old voices of reason.
Hear too much,
from people who aren’t there.
Looking lost.
Did you find your way?
Or are you still on your stilts paying
for mistakes made 3 days and 2 nights ago?
Why don’t you learn, then?
Get off the damn phone.
Go home.
Stupid.
I love you, you crazy fool.
Loony Baby lost her baby
Now she’s just a loony girl.
On the streets,
With her body.
So fine
It makes me want to cry
Loony Baby
Oh so crazy
Is it my fault I didn’t stop you when you were mine?
When you were still my baby?
