Unexpected warmth
So lost yet so found
Will you join me in my cloudy paradise?
Just for a while...
It won't take long.

This is just a short rhyme for you out there
Sitting in the shadows plotting your schemes
You think you're so clever; no one's aware
But imma tell you now honey, we ain't all dim
So if you wanna play, take out le dictionnaire
'cos language is a hurdle for you it seems
(mis)using 4 syllable words, you're full of hot air
So be careful next when you spin your web of dreams
It could very well become a nightmare.

.
Will you say something?
Just before I go...

Will you fill the void
that had silently metastasised?

Will you convey it
like you really mean it?

Will you allay my fears
that's been cleverly disguised?

.

Once upon a time,
Not so long ago...

There anxiously lived
A lovely lady,
Who was now in the know!

You see..., her inspiration
Was taken away from her,
Forcing her lively spirit
To slowly die.

Her heart had broke,
Beyond repair,
When she finally uncovered
That love
Was nothing but a cruel lie.

Her kind, gentle soul
Was tortured,
And forced into virtual recluse,

For it had withstood
Unbearable amounts
Of mentally painful,
Emotional abuse.

She learnt
That the more one loves,
The more one feels the pain,

A very sad ending to her fairytale;
One that happens to many
Innocent, loving souls,
Leaving them all,
Never to be the same!
