Kayla not Red

There was a time when I didn't know,
   My heart was un-jaded and pure,
A time before I knew the world was mean and cruel,
   My faith was unshaken;


There was a time when I didn't know about the pain and agony,
   Before morphine drips and hospital doors,
A time when your days were not numbered and life was at our fingertips.

There was a time when I brought you McDonald's round chicken nuggets,
    Instead of Sunflowers to  adorn your grave.

There was a time when I didn't know you....
    I didn't miss you then at all.
