Leave Well Alone
© Jon Horne 1990

Have you seen the brand new smile upon my face?
Now I'm back in the human race. Hello.
No more you, pointing your dagger eyes at me,
Pointing out how it used to be, you see.
You had to, didn't you?
You couldn't leave well alone.

Now I remember summer days on the fire escape;
You turn red while I stare into space.

There was I, thinking that everything had changed,
Thinking that nothing would be the same again.
Then you came along to ruin things again.
No more sun, now you've brought the rain.
You had to, didn't you?
You couldn't leave well alone.
