He left before the morning light

His scent, lingered, in the air

She wrapped herself around it

To ease the chill, her body, bare

Private thoughts invaded

Her mind was set on fire

He was all she wanted near

He was her one desire

Yet, sitting alone, she pondered

Was her love for him misled?

Perhaps, she would just have to settle

For memories of him, in her bed

I wanted to be sympathetic

Her eyes glazed over in tears

I wanted to comfort her through it

But I couldn’t get rid of the fears

She’d battled so many demons

They kept at her, time and again

Hopelessly, she had given up

There was no way she could win

She glanced at me in the mirror

I looked away, I couldn’t take it

Why did this always happen to me?

Is there a chance I’ll never make it?

I’ve wiped away tears, forgotten the fears

Though it happens, on and off, through the years

Dry are my eyes, I’ve stifled the cries

But never shall I be able to sympathize

The sky blushes in pinks and reds

As sunset silently strokes her face

A brush of sea air, her reminder

To return herself to the twilight

Disappearing, as night crawls in

Slowly fading away with the day

Little miss prima donna
No power in her hands
Begging for the life she led
Once Upon a Time so grand

Naked hand with fingers bare
Baubles no longer define
A kingdom filled with memories there
Once Upon a Time divine

An empty spirit weighs her down
Pride now filled with chagrin
Her name no longer is renowned
A Once Upon a Time has-been

Ever a woman of wealth and means
Now lying on the bed she’s made
No tiara for this fairy tale queen
Her Once Upon a Time betrayed

I have found the most perfect place

Where no one will find me, not even a trace

Hidden, secluded in the corner, you see

My own little niche, yes, that’s where I’ll be

Just enough light, from the window, at day

Just enough darkness, to keep others away

Lost in the quiet, I’ll peacefully sit

All alone, by myself, I won’t care a bit

Leave me my imagination, and let me read

A book of full of stories, it’s all I’ll ever need
