Cassi is soon found sleeping Snoozing to soothing dreaming The sound of thunderstorms Keeping her tucked in and warm Just before the day's retreat After every last demon's defeat She crosses her heart and hopes to keep Then she wakes up once more
She's always tired of the never ending Forever deceitful and cruel sun setting The last unicorn forlorn and despondent From all that transpired And how she responded
She feels left alone within the shell From her former glory This private hell with a tragic story No alibis with idle categories Can reform her broken immortality
Yet her mighty veneer Will soon be restored If only as soon as Schmendrick is ready Or Prince Lir reminds her of the magic Beset within her weary heart She's never forgetting She's not the last of her kind Because that's not her ending
You said to hold on
Because you're a little unsteady While the color in your eyes I won't be forgetting No matter the trail or dissent Tufted footfalls lead while treading I'm right beside you Whenever you're ready
