Pied Piper

I looked up and saw you for what you really were
So now you’ll be the stranger and I’ll be the fool.

There was an inaudible crack spreading in the air
From the glass heart you crafted in my chest for wear

It matched the one that I wore on my sleeve
And your bright eyes that made me believe 

But this love becomes a sequence in a series of failures
I had not your love, not even a best friend’s favor.

Oh the believe that you had made out of me
And now it seems to late do I finally see

You’re a pied piper with a well crafted tune
To lead away this child in the beginning of June.

Then as the music you made began to fade
I find myself in the forest alone and afraid

You will never come back for me
My pied piper, the believer you made of me.

Madison! This is genius! Did you just think of this or was it inspired? because it seems like you really went deep inside your head and let the words empower you..like you were in a trance and just wrote and wrote until this piece was what it was suppose to be. I love this piece! Great Job and thanks for the words on my writing... you are a true friend and fan. Great work!
