Candy Floss

I long for days of candy floss, 

of bright sunshine and slow afternoons,

of late evening swims and fun movie nights,

and those stupid arguments too,

I long for days of candy floss,

of times spent with family, 

of burgers, fat and greasy and the relentless teasing,

and the stupid name-calling too,

I long for days of candy floss 

of running in the rain and football games,

of princess dress-up and crackers with juice,

and the stupid homework too,

I long for days of candy floss,

of the times I never even had,

of  the childhood cruelly ripped,

from my soft, baby hands,

I long for days of candy floss,

of the times stolen from me,

of the years of joy and happiness

and my innocent fairy tale dreams.
