I am his but he’s not mine

He belongs to Father Time.

Father Time will never own me

For I belong to Mother Rhyme.

I lived a thousand lives,

Crossed oceans of time

Just to be with you again.

We are but grains of sand

But for this day only we remain.

I quench my thirst with your sweet kiss

On this day, only our two souls exist

In perfect bliss and absent of pain.

All I wanted

I wanted you to love me

Like you used to.

I wanted to be enough

For you.

I wanted to stir passion

Like I did before.

I wanted you to want

Even more.

But you look away

Don’t listen to what I say

You yawn and sigh

And all I do is cry

Because all you do is lie

Now I just want to die.

I wanted you to kiss me

Like the first time we kissed

I wanted you to miss me

All I wanted was to be missed.

I wanted you to hold me

Like you used to

I want to bring out 

The best in you.

But you just let go

There’s nothing left to show

Of all the moments we had

And that just makes me sad

Because you don’t see me

Like you used to think of me

I’m no longer who I used to be

I’m just the girl you want to set free.

How could you?

This used to be my house.

This used to be our house

The walls, the floors, the halls

The shelves so tall,

They whisper secrets

And tell the truth 

Now I walk these halls

And stomp the floors

Scratching the walls

Cursing the shelves that were so tall

Remembering our secrets

How could you?

This is not my house!

This was my living hell!

The music box still ringing in my ear

It echoes sordid secrets that you feared

Now that you’re gone everything is all too clear

I freeze every time I think back to when you called me “dear”.

Your darkness weighed on me every night

I closed my eyes so you’d be outta sight

I silently cried and prayed with all my might

You crossed my threshold, snuffed out my light

How could you?

I’m not the same girl that I used to be

I can close the door on those bad memories

How could no one ever see

The music box and what it did to me?

I’m not the same girl I used to be

I closed the lid on your music box

Now you’re gone and finally the music stopped...
