Waking to a lonely world
Maybe I’m a lonely girl
Mom and dad have gone away
And they’re not back today …
Searching as the hours pass
I stare into shattered glass
I just had the strangest dream
My world split at the seams …
Wide awake or half asleep
It’s hard to tell with certainty
Pictoral aura of mystique
Is now within my hand’s own reach
Though mom and dad have gone away
I’d beg to see them one more day
Though memories are awfully sweet
I’d rot away with idle feet
Memories are lost inside
A chasm of my own design
My writing from a prior life
Should bring me back the memories
Of every word in every line
And lead me back with all their signs
A picture with my parents’ eyes
Will surely bring a tear to mine …
Waking to a lonely world
Maybe I’m a lonely girl
As I went to hunt my prey
I spot it by the lake …
Startled by a lonely girl
Crying all alone and curled
Asking for her sister
So we walked around to find her …
Never know what lies beneath
Am I to just remain unseen?
A beastly girl, a sword unsheathed
I know that’s what they think of me
I wish to travel far away
Though I’m restrained by balls and chains
Though memories are awfully sweet
I wonder now, why did he leave?
Broken shards are what precede me
Or were they just what succeed me?
Either way, I leave unscathed
Is what I’d like to say …
Words I’ve never read before
From journal pages on the floor
Encounter a reminder that
It’s not just like before …
Searching in an empty chasm
Broken shards remind me of him
(Broken shards remind me of them)
Lines will lead me back
(Signs will show me now)
To when he left without a word
(Where both my parents might have gone)
Memories come back to me
And nothing was quite as it seemed
Though back to who I was before
I’m sure that now I will endure
Never know why I believed
That everything was as it seemed
We’re stronger than we could’ve seen
Our feet no longer idling
Every word in every line
Would lead to you with all the signs
A picture with my parents’ eyes
Gives me the hope that soon we’ll find them
All inside this hollow forrest
Or in worlds beyond our own
It’s time for us to take the leap
And break out of this daydream
