A long time ago is what it seems like now
Although it wasn't that long back.
For centuries it felt like I was trapped
Locked up in this wretched world
Like a genie in her lamp waiting
For a new master, to be rubbed, and to be freed.
That genie I am.
Following orders and granting wishes
Not able to speak my own mind
But when you came it all changed
Everything was no longer the same.
You promised that after your first 2 wishes
You would set me free.
But did you?
Well, I'm still here waiting patiently for my freedom
For a chance to breathe; for a chance to live!
Does that answer your question?
You betrayed a genie's trust!
But you weren't the only one;
There's a whole group of liars like you:
Heart brakers, dream killers
Greedy and selfish;
Only thinking of yourselves and scruing the rest of the world.
I never allowed myself to believe
To trust, to dream, or to even wish
But it all just seemed easy
Fun and worth spending my time doing
When it was about you.
Before you, I would stay back and do what I was told
To prevent from getting hurt.
So I was never able to speak for myself
Never able to express any emotion
Never able to use my imagination
Never able to live a normal life
Never able to allow my heart to control me
...Thus never able to cry.
But like I said...
With you all that came easy.
So fun and worth doing;
Satisfying
And then Painful.
I used to love hearing your words
Dream of our future together
And of the moment where
I would be able to kiss you
To touch you
To hold you...
But as easy as it was to dream
Unforcefully these tears have fallen.
For your lies,
Broken promises,
Unfaithfullness,
and Betrayal...
You have caused this poor girl to cry...
You tormented this poor genie to tears...
Was that what you wanted?
To see a faithful genie cry?
Hopefully I will recover from this...
Since I can't wish this pain away
Here, locked up in this lamp, I'll stay...
Trapped for more centuries to come...
