Stay

Stay

Dreamed of fairytale promises
Her fantasy not meant to stay
Death came knocking, cloaked in black
Carrying her true love away

Carriages crash, glass slippers break
Magic wand spells never last
Broken heart in disrepair
With memories of dances past

Now she waits for Reaper's hand
To lead her to his side
Without her prince she can't go on
Her soul already died
