Remains

You and me, a twisted dream

I can’t seem to wake up from

Your spell was cast—but dreams don’t last

And love’s an empty kingdom

No one rules

And I’m the fool

Who whispers prayers into the sky

to no reply

Tossing pennies in the wishing well

Will they bring me luck or bring me hell?

You’re the only one who could ever tell

Which way they fell, which way they fell

Heads- he loves me and he’ll find me here

Tales- he’s left me to my bitter tears

Coppered love left to the ash and dust

To rust and rust where it fell

At the bottom of that well

Throwing daisy petals to the sky

Love me nots, I’m left to wonder why

Would wishing on them change the course of time

Realign, redefine to a place

Where you are mine

You are mine

If wishing on these stars

Means you are

Everything I ever wanted

Everything I ever needed

Every monster that I’ve hunted

Every wound that left me bleeding

Every hope that ever flickered

Every fight in pouring rain

Every white knight turned to trickster

Every kiss that left its stain

Still remains

You still remain
