I got home and found hanging on my fence A hollow, empty shell from a locust He shed his armor now, that brave boy The rain will fall, the wind will blow, it’s still hanging on It’s been so long since I had a good cry It used to be so much easier I don’t even know why, why I’m so dry I try to catch my breath, I think I’ve had enough I went out on the porch, waiting for the dark I heard a cricket, under the flowerpot. He’s chirping the saddest song for everything he’s lost He’s chirping loud and long, I think I know how he feels It’s been so long since I had a good cry It used to be so much easier I don’t even know why, why I’m so dry I try to catch my breath, I think I’ve had enough
