Unrequited
Suzy Quackenbush Feb 2011
Just another song about heartbreak and sorrow
Another song about lost tomorrows
Another sad lady, in front of a  mirror
Another day struggling just to be here
Another love story ended in shame
He’s off to another girl, with only myself to blame

I loved you too much, too fast, too long
You told me I was too young, too pure, too wrong
Now I’ve grown, in more ways than one
And now you’re still off in the world having fun
The love story has ended, never to begin again
But I know who I am, and I know where I’ve been

It was a spree, a song, a little fling
But not any ordinary thing
And I’m still another broken heart
Trying to make a fresh new start
Another sad, broken case
Frightened to move in or out of place

Long Live the Queen
Suzy Quackenbush Feb 2011
Long live the Queen
Is all that’s heard above the screams
And the parapet crumbled
And her dress was torn

And all they could say
Was ‘we were never warned’
And the Queen lived long
But her heart died long ago

And she could never stop it
And she never stopped to think why
And that parapet still crumbled
And the dress faded more

The King went of to war
And the Prince went off to sea
And the daughters stayed to pray
And the Queen had nothing to say

The poets dreamt in words
And the minstrels spun their songs
And the jesters told their stories
But the Queen was still a stone

The King lost the war
The Prince was lost at sea
The daughters prayers were heard
And the Queen saw it all from afar

And the kingdom went on
And people lived in peace
And the parapet stayed crumbled
And the dresses stayed in the dark

— The End —
