Q Dec 2012

I took in a deep breath
and closed my eyes.
I let it all out
then my eyes opened.
I wanted to tell you my secret
but you were gone.

Tears came to my eyes
and I looked at the ground
then I whispered to myself
"I love you
and I thought you loved me,
but I guess I was wrong."

I never heard from you
ever again but
sometimes I saw you
with your friends.
I never stopped loving you
but you did.

In the end
I didn't really care --
I didn't want you anymore.
I'll just find someone else
like you do.
But I will always love you.

After awhile,
you said you loved me too
so we were together.
But it wasn't too long
until I was the one
who ran away.

I know that you love me
and I love you too.
But you aren't
the one for me.
And I'm definitely
not the one for you.

I know that
in the end,
it was like the beginning,
but I ran away from you
and left you with
words still on your lips.

I wish I was,
but honestly,
I'm not.
I wanted to be happy.
I'm not sorry
that I left you.

I did this for me
not for you.
I used to be sorry
that I left you,
that I made you sad.
But I'm not sorry anymore.

Once Upon A Whisper

Once upon a whisper
two children were born.
They were identical twins
and they were separated.

Many years passed
and they girl found the boy.
He was a thief
and she was a princess.

He kidnapped her
and held her for ransom.
She did not struggle
because she knew.

"I am your sister"
she whispered to him.
So they went to the palace
and and she told this to the king.

The king was furious
and sentenced him to death.
So the girl took his place
and her brother did flee.

Once upon a whisper
a girl died for a boy
and the boy wished
for her to come back.

"Let us be together,
twins once again,"
he said to the stars
and one teardrop fell.

He soon died of grief
and again, twins were born.
The boy got his wish
and they were always together.

Forbidden Love

Once in a dark time
a secret was told.
The truth was hidden
even when the world went cold.

For the world had a savior
but she was just a young girl.
She didn't know it
but soon her wings would unfurl.

She was an angel,
and that was the truth
but no one would know it,
not while she was in her youth.

Ten years had passed,
now she was eighteen.
Her wings would unfurl
and the truth would be seen.

She soon saved the world
and was told to leave
but she wouldn't do that --
her love was naive.

She'd fallen for a man
and he'd fallen for her.
Her love was forbidden
but she stayed on Earth.

She was once immortal
but her wings have been taken.
But she didn't regret it --
she did not want a love forsaken.

My Yellow Bird

One day I'll meet my yellow bird,
or maybe I never will.
One day I'll find my yellow bird,
or maybe I already have.

My yellow bird wasn't my first love --
it might not be my second.
But then again, maybe it will.

One day I'll find my true love
and we will never part.
One day my true love will find me
and our lives can start together.

My true love could be near,
my yellow bird could be far
but either way, I'll find him.

Do Not Forget

I have my scars,
and you have yours.
So you keep your scars
and I'll keep mine.

They cannot be healed
but they can be forgotten.
I have a shield
and you a sword.

We can fight
this war together
and we can be
with each other forever.

If I die,
you mustn't forget.
And if you die
I will not fret.

When the war begins
and we say goodbye,
we hold our heads
and do not cry.

I find myself
on the ****** ground
I cannot see,
can't hear a sound.

Then I feel your hand on mine
and feel a smile begin.
I am going
but we will win.

He whisper to me
his old promise,
"I won't forget you,"
and then we kiss.

Then he's gone
and I get a chill
because I know --
forget? -- he will.

Mirror Lake

Mirror, mirror,
mirror lake
how much killing
will it take?

I want to see
your clear blue waters --
not a bloodied
merchant's daughter.

You've gone too far,
you've had your fun.
When can this
be finally done?

I bring you victims,
I watch you ****.
I sit and watch
upon the hill.

I'll find a way
to clear the blood.
I'll find a way
to clear the mud.

I tell you to stop
but you don't listen
and on my face
my new tears glisten.

You're just a lake
and you're something new.
I just want to see
your crystal blue.

Perhaps if I leave
then you'll come back --
Once you were
a man named Jack.

You were my brother
but now you're not.
You're something else,
not what I thought.

I turn my back
and walk away.
If I leave
will you be safe?

I close my eyes
then walk away.
I cannot go,
but I cannot stay.

Mirror, mirror,
mirror lake,
you took my brother
and my heart did break.

He is gone,
he's lost forever.
Because Mirror Lake
was oh, so, clever.

Snow's Heart

The girl called
Snow White
was sentenced
to death
so she fled.

The old queen
sent a
huntsman
to fetch her
Snow's heart.

Snow hid in
a cottage
full of
small men --
dwarves?

With the kingdom
in ruins,
the seven dwarves
cast Snow out
into the woods.

The Hunstman
saw Snow
and ran after her.
So Snow ran back
in the cottage.

The little dwarves
were angered
and the drew
their small swords
and killed her.

The Huntsman
barged in and
saw her dead body
and he cut
out her heart.

He gave it
to the queen
and the kingdom
in ruins
remained ruined.

Forever.
