That Girl

She walked with her head in the clouds
She believed in dreams and such
She had an imagination too

Her thoughts were apart
From the crowd all around

Her heart beat with a rhythm
That put a skip in her walk
Her eye had a twinkle
That would make hearts stop

She had ambition
And her heart was full of love
Her home and hearth was warm
And her cocoon was soft like a dove

But she had to get her wings
To fly away far
Her dreams were big and rosy
And those would daily call

Her wings weren't strong yet
But the cocoon fell apart
The hearth grew cold
And home was just a sham

The rosy tints were taken away
World was far too grey
Dreams were shattered to pieces
And she could not fly away

Sometimes I wish she could
Just freeze Time to that moment
When she walked on clouds
Unaware and astray

Sometimes I wish she could
Still pirouette in that dream
Turning round and round in the clouds
Waltzing to the ghostly theme

Sometimes I wish she would
Start crying again
At least the rain would
Wash away the pain

Sometimes I wish she was
Not so heartless now
I wish she could feel
All the former feelings she had

She walks with her pride
Shouldering her strength
But no more are there any
Carefree thoughts at length

Sometimes I wish she would
Again
Build castles in the air
And imagine an airy life
For an airy fairy self

Sometimes I wish she does
Still exist inside somewhere
Sometimes I wish she talks
To me
Like she used to, back in the day

Maybe she is somewhere
Feeling alone and lonely
Just like I strut my pride
While being alone and lonely

I think she still stays
Somewhere inside of me
But hidden and scared
Because my world is too dreary

She was far too weak
I am far too strong
Maybe the twain shall meet
But then...
It has now been so long!

Darkness

Like being in a nightmare
Going down in a free fall
No bottom, no anchor, nothingness all around

Dark and cold
Emptiness

Like a heart frozen cold
Like a distant scary memory

An untold tale
Of loss and pain
A heart full of hope
Broken, torn apart and burnt

When the lights go out
When darkness reigns supreme
Nightmares rule
Whispers turn sinister

An open wound
Unhealed

Left out, left alone

In a bottomless pit

Darkness, just the darkness
All around
