Fairy Tale

You've see my spring time roses
you've see my helpless tears
you've seen the cuts upon my body
silent for so many helpless years.

You've seen my golden smiles
you've mended my torren soul
like glass I shatter,
a thousand times
and you were there,
to make me whole.

You've seen my wretched tears
my scars upon a cool breath
I've watched it, like a home movie
a replay of my own death.

The roses have fallen like angels
the tears are a reminder
that I'm still alive
and clouds will flee away from the sun, once you smile
once I revive.

Cuts are another reason to continue
cuts make hallucinations real
and even though my cuts were fatal
they hide the secrets
that I cannot reveal.

When momma used to beat me
and throw me in the 'dark room'
you were there to save me
you made me feel like
we were immortals without gloom.

When momma taught me
just how to make the cuts
and you looked at her
as if she was a stranger
you protected me
from daddy's hits
you kept me out of danger.

Momma left before I was 16
and you were a young man
took me in your arms and sang
'our lives have just began'

When Daddy drank himself to death, after momma left, didn't know how to fix our world, and you started to do meth.

You found me, my first job
I was a waitress in a bar,
I'd wake up in the morning
hearing you playing your guitar.

Years later, when we found out
that you weren't my real brother
I started to love you in a different way, love you like no other.

It was like a fairy tale
how you picked me up
every time I seemed to slip
when momma used to leave me
I can still feel your everlasting grip.

When Daddy started that fire
by falling asleep with his cigarette
the fire blazing through your eyes
A day I can't forget.

And it was truly a fairy tale
without the fairies and mystic ways
but a fairy tale is a fairy tale
and every time I look at you
you set my heart ablaze.

And when you asked me to marry you
I was a princess, in a veil
you were my prince charming
playing out a happily ever after
I call a fairy tale.
