Even as it chimes

This world or any other could not make me believe

The way you ended my fairy tale



You caught me

Used conversation to dance me onto the terrace

Your eyes to lead me in the wrong direction

The direction that felt so right

So.....so right



I fell into the dream

The bliss as we entered the garden

Standing lost was my most favorite part



But then I saw it

Tried to ignore it

That look

Oh no no no no



I gripped onto the dream

Maybe this is why it ended...

Its not my fault he says

Only as he points his finger



No longer is my dress a gown

But the rags I was in when you found me

You caught me by the heart

Swirling twirling...

Tricking me into dancing

........until I'm a servant again

Huh, this is very creative, kudos to your friend for coming up with it and to you for putting it to paper. I like it, and it definitely was not what I expected.

Check out my work sometime?
