On her good days she tried to make up for her bad ones
days spent listless in bed
numbing the world with her television set
One those good days she'd emerge from her chamber and sing songs
cut the crusts off our sandwiches and shape them into dinosaurs
Cut up fruit and buy our love with toys and trips out of the house
only to fall right back into bed the next day
sadly, the good days never outweighed the bad
numb and neglectful
