Lance:
How can you sleep at night
Hearing
The closest thing you have
To a best friend
Cry himself to sleep
Because of what his
Father did
To him
And his sister.
***
Pietro:
How can you sleep
On a tear-stained pillow?
With memories
Of your father
And your sister
Of before.
***
Todd:
How can you sleep at night
Knowing
That the woman you love
Has been
Messed-up
Dolled-up
Used
And thrown away?
***
Wanda:
How could you sleep at night
If you knew what really happened
Who Magneto is
And what he did
To shatter your happiness
***
Fred:
What happens at school
Doesn't stay there.
Does it?
It come home
And nests in your mind
Like a ton of gold bricks.
The laughter
The fights
Is it worth it?
