The Girl With The Tilted Head

I've walked so far I couldn't imagine going back to who I used to be
I saw her lifeless and yet breathing form
Standing with her tilted head and hollow eyes
She pointed to me and stared,
Just stared.
I kept on walking and I didn't look back
at who I used to be

But the memories flooded like sand being poured down from a talking drum
It was a sad night when I turned a new age
I should have been happy
But I couldn't bring myself to smile at the purple cake which was round and long like those wedding cakes you see in cartoons
I had seen another lifeless form in front of me last night
Drawing me closer
This time, she was thin and ugly and gave me a fright

I knew then that I was eventually going to meet her
And perhaps be her.
It then occurred to me that I hadn't done all the things I wanted to do
It's like I travelled through time to the future
How did I get to this age?
I wish I could go back to being 6 years old and watching 'Barney' on DVDs.
We had DVDs
I wish we still do
It's too late
I have moved out and I have become my worst nightmare

I wish I could go back
But the girl with the tilted head and the lifeless form is there
She can no longer be alive
