Completed February 2021
A dream forsaken
As time once again steals it all
Evil poisoning the life I wanted
Crying with nowhere to fall
—
His hand in mine
Slowly growing cold
The world losing its color
The stars starting to fold
—
If only I had listened
If only I’d obeyed
He wouldn’t be here dying
I wouldn’t be dismayed
—
For all of the world he brought to my tower
He took it when he died
And all the evil she took when she fell
I am left alone inside
—
The windows are open, but the air is still
The time we had is gone
As he fades from being real
And I’m supposed to move on
—
Blood soaked shirt and broken heart
The two of us together
Chasing our dreams within each other
Lost into the abyss of forever
—
I can blame Mother Gothel
I could blame her health
But none of this would have happened
If I hadn’t been thinking of myself
—
It’s my greed that caused this
It’s my selfish wish
My impotence got him killed
I turned into that witch
—
So I’ll sit here on my floor alone
Letting tears stain my cheeks
In this empty hole, I once called home
Until the silence ceases to speak
