Can You Lend Me an Attic?
Can you lend me an attic someone?
And in that attic I will see that girl again.
The one with the blue frilled cotton frock.
The one with the acne marked red cheeks.
Playing with imaginary rabbits.
And immersed in her story books.
Can you lend me an attic someone?
I will go there and meet the little girl again.
The curly haired, pink- lipped girl.
With so much of innocence and love.
Wide-eyed and curiosity vast as the sea.
I will meet that little girl again, the girl that was me.
