    Default First song in a while. Untitled so far.

    So I've had writers block for a good year and a half now. Tonight I started to write something and this is just how it came out. Don't have a song title yet though.

    All those fairytales drugged me
    into thinking I had to be Prince Charming
    to the damsel in distress
    look at all the blood stains sunk into her dress
    and she’d say “Oh no, honey, I think I’ve made a mess.”
    Collapsing in exhaustion upon her wooden floor
    looking up at me in her white and red evening gown
    she would faintly smile at me and blink her eyes slow
    saying “If you could only see the look on your face from where I lie below.
    If you could only see how worn your eyes are now
    all the lines run so deep and are semi permanent.
    I guess you always knew I was messing with your head
    but I didn’t ever think that it would come to this
    so, my darling, come save me cause I think I’ve made a mess.”

    I’d stand there in a frozen composure
    looking down at my feet
    tracing every crack on her floor to her hands
    sprawled out against the white of her dress
    my off white eyes beating down on her skin
    she’d smooth it over with the lines of her hands
    then put her palms up to face the sky
    and told me to read between the lines
    but all I could see were the blisters and the scars
    from hands far too jaded to tell any truths
    and she’d say “can’t you see what I see?”
    but I think she breathed a sigh of relief
    when I shrugged and shook my head, kneeling at her feet
    cause I couldn’t see all the secrets she’d hidden inside
    of her soul locked up, or her wounded pride
    cause she’s been bleeding ever since he left
    all over the white on her dress.

    All through the night the rain came down hard
    thumping against the window it made me crazy
    it leaked into my brain and made me sick for days
    I’d look at her, sleeping next to me
    and trace the lines in her palms down to her heart
    I tried to figure her out
    but my constant inquiries into her past
    caused her heart to turn cold while the winter winds passed
    and as they swirled outside the window, frosted with the snow
    she left without a coat or a word of goodbye
    left me there to wonder where I went wrong or if I was right.

    So you see those fairytales that drugged me when I was very young
    didn’t tell of the cruel winters or the lie that would become her
    they failed to mention that eventually everything ends
    and within her cold heart lies mine, frozen once again
    but the years they did pass, slowly as can be
    and my love, my heart and my pride
    slowly ceased to be
    and the rhythm of the rain brought me melodies in the spring
    it always repeated that same old sentence
    “honey, I’ve made a mess, honey I’ve made a mess.”
    To this day I never could stand damsels in distress.

    Wow, what a flow of words and impressions. Not sure I've ever read your stuff before but I think this piece is really great!

    "they failed to mention that eventually everything ends
    and within her cold heart lies mine, frozen once again" ~favorite part! :-)

    Very emotional with a little hint of dramatic flair. Very nice. I like it. Write some more, ok?
