Rewriting The Story
Melting The Ice... Tear Out The Pages
it's like ice, she said
the contents of my heart
shaded in black, but filled in with red
*
tattered are the corners, jagged the edge
torn from the pages of a fairytale
it's like ice she said
*
i let the thought run away with my head
the idea of it, soft and smooth, still unbroken
shaded in black, but filled in with red
*
it's like ice, she said
not at all what i'd planned
shaded in black, but filled in with red
*
i fell for the ruse
let the game make the rules
all i've to show for it, is broken and bruised
*
maybe i'll start over, create my own, instead
leave the fairytale for make believe
it's like ice, she said
shaded in black, but filled in with red
