I'M Sad Today-- Memories of a Princess--

I'm sad today Because I let all the best in me, turn and walk away I miss the way you'd laugh at the absurd things that I'd say The hours and the patience spent, driving home the truth I'm not funny, I'm not special, I'm not ANYTHING without you The castle that you conjoured with your hope and dreams and charms Mean nothing for the princess who was banished from your arms I never meant for ice to form and futher cool the breeze Developed from the manic time I brought you to your knees Oh god I'm sorry I'M ****ING SORRY said the princess to the wind as she tries to recall the moment her mind became unhinged My hands enshroud my face as I remember wistfully All that love I took for granted, just cos I believed There there was more than this, than us, than nights blurred into day No sense of time. I wouldn't have it any other way. Though I'd erase the times I turned my back on precious things That I discarded, disregarded the ecstacy love brings Still trapped by my own selfishness, beat by my vehemence Fighting back emotion as I suffer every consequence I know we said we're soulmates but Im sorry, mine was sold It's sudden, bitter lifelessness had started growing mould My shallow breaths were not enough, I failed you again I couldn't keep the one last thing that kept me safe and sane I'VE LOST EVERYTHING wailed the princess to the sea and let go of the cliffside, she fell eternally.
