Once A Boy, Now A Man
Once you were a boy and now you’re a man
Once a boy with scruffy blonde hair and bright, innocent blue eyes
Now a man with a black, greasy hair and cold, beady eyes
Once a boy with a ready-to-learn smile
Now a man with an evil grin of death
Once a boy with a gap in his front teeth
Now a man with teeth as yellow as a crayon
Once a boy with a bright future
Now a man with a road of death and wrongs
Once a boy with a small, but healthy body
Now a man with a lean, starving pole
Once a boy with the brightest of minds
Now a man with a cigarette in his mouth
Once a boy with a clear, cherub voice
Now a man with gruff, destroyed utter
Once a boy that was my brother
Ten years later
Now a man who’s a stranger
I wanted to say that I loved you
But since a mysterious event that you never will tell
I will never have that chance
