Loss

I used to think like you
To be young and naive
When the world was my oyster
And all my wishes fulfilled
But now I bare the scars
Of life obtained
The days unlived
And the time spent in sorrow
I know you will join me one day
And for that loss
For those sorrows yet to come
I pity you

Naive (Pantoum)

We share a heart so tender
Some do think us naive
We two have only surrendered
We allow ourselves to believe

Some just think us naive
They are unaware of the cost
While we allow ourselves to believe
The real world can be lost

They don't perceive the true cost
That we two have sundered
The real world we have lost
While we share our hearts so tender

Simply Stories

I’d like to believe in fairy tales

But I’m not that naive

Fairy tales are simply stories

Something little girls like to believe

And if you look closely at them

Cinderella is only a maid

Being tortured by stepsisters

Abused by relatives, overworked and underpaid

Everyone’s favorite Snow White

Is the marvelous fluke

A glorified servant

Who marries a Duke!

The best one by far

Is the stone cold fish

Who by choosing her love, loses her voice

How’s that for a wish?

So why must we choose these

Over glamorous tales

I’d rather have something else

Even if that something else fails
