Here I am
Thinking of you
Again
Wishing you’d have
Saved me
From him
Had you been here
In my life
He wouldn’t have
Here I am
Wishing for you
Wanting us back
This is my plea
My last cry
For help
Please show me
Say something –
Reach out
This is my
Final cry
For you
Show me somehow
Say anything –
Soon.
Just in case you forgot
I’m still right here.
Missing you –
Missing us,
Whatever we were.
Feeling you
Forgetting me.
I just wish you knew,
I just want you.
And I want you –
To be happy.
I’d do it all again –
Run through the pain
Eyes wide open
A million times
Over and over
If it meant –
For one last time
I could fall asleep with you
Laying my head
On your shoulder
The tale of a poor judgment Princess
Choosing the future of her kingdom
All for one, or one for all?
She thought their love was her freedom
Like a damsel in distress
She let her long hair down
Allowing them an opportunity –
To win her heart, earn the crown
They were never knighted
There were no duels for her love
They were thieves, liars and pirates
Yet she’d build their pedestals up
Admiring them like royalty
Wishing to be their ‘dream-come-true’
Although she was already a princess
The mirror needed to see it, too
No matter the stars she wished upon
Or the words from her Fairy Godmother
The next day when she’d wake alone
She knew they never loved her
She never picked the right knight
She never made it on time for the ball
Who the hell leaves a shoe behind?
What is happily-ever-after, after all?
After years of spells and magic
Being fooled over and over again
She gave up hoping to be saved –
The kingdom of her heart left un-enchanted
So here’s to all those pedestals
Tonight I’m burning all of them down
This Princess doesn’t need any saving –
It’s my turn to wear the crown
No matter where I am
Or how much time has passed
There will always be room for you
In this heart of shattered glass
