Heed the heavenly voices of the ancients
Their secrets, hold the key to God’s kingdom

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

No matter how dark the clouds may seem
There is always light, shining over them

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
