Mud Doesn't Become you...

Never meant to be

For fiction fails us now

There are no fairy tale princes

No midnight rides

No pumpkin carriages

All there is

The here and now

Crashing notes of reality

Burdens of normality

Pain and regret

Tempered by the fact

That at least

I’m not dragging you

Down with me

For as much as you

Would raise me higher than I’ve ever been

I come from the gutters

People tend to get trapped here

I wouldn’t want you caught

Mud doesn’t become you

No Escape

Unanswered here I sit

With my heart in my hands

No longer willing

To wait for you

But unable to give up

It will come crashing down

On my head

Sooner or later

I suppose

The flood gates will open

And the heavens

Will rain down

I will be soaked

Drenched

There is no escape

From you

Wishing

Wishing

Never wanting, always wishing

There will come a day

When there will be nothing left to say

The heart only has so much blood

And can only break so many times

So if there was ever a way

Time could be written for me

Today the last chance to flee

Before the world comes crashing down

Until there is no cure

There is only so much you can do

It’s not your problem to solve

There’s no reason to get involved

Strangers make the best of friends

As long as no one ever cares

Beg, Borrow, or Steal our way

To money, fortune and fame

Anything we can do to further our names

As long as we promote our cause

If we get our fifteen minutes

I’ll leave the fame, thank you very much

I’m content to just be me

I just wish everyone could see

What I was wishing for

I could never buy in any store

Because no one sells replacement hearts
