once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
a princess feared monsters lived under her bed.
the princess grew older, and braver, and wiser,
the queen won the battles with beasts in her head.

but monsters, once slain, never stay gone for long,
and they came back to haunt her at night.
the queen grew exhausted of wars that won't end
and weary of never not having to fight.

the palace remained well-protected by guards
and its walls were built higher and higher.
but guards couldn't keep out the fear of the dark
and walls not the dragon's great fire.

the queen stepped outside of her palace once more
and tore the great monster to shreds.
but killing a dragon was never the problem,
the problem was keeping him dead.

there is us.
not really, not us
anymore, but there is
you,
and
I'm here, too.

I never believed in
drowning
my sorrows
but you said you do it
because otherwise you would
drown in them.

I can't drown in mine because they are
not water, but a tunnel or maybe
a pit
of blackness.

there is you, trying
to stay afloat.
there is me, trying
to clim brick walls.

you need only to swim but you're tired -- so tired;
I need to ******* learn to fly which human beings still find
hard
to do.

and so I am trying to be a life raft
and so you are trying to be a ladder

but at the end of the day there is not
us, anymore.

there is you and me and
us
is a glass jar in wonderland.

I don't want to regret
I no longer want to forget
So I shall accept
That I'd want you to collect
These feelings that I want you to protect

I hope this third time around
No harm would be bound
No intruders shall be found
No obstacles we can't pound*

I want you to be mine
And me to be yours
So forever shall be ours

I aspire to inspire
Before I *expire
