Never Once

Two drunks make a terrible mistake one night They decide to name her something obvious; Not to represent their demise Because neither is coherent enough to understand The true cost of this mistake.   She's thrust out into the world unknown Not quite young, but not quite grown With a chip on her shoulder all...

Before Me
