Asleep alone, she lays in bed
Wrapped in covers—toe to head
Gentle skin and long blond hair
Sparkling glitter everywhere
A glowing star, she shines so bright
So peaceful in the quiet night
She dreams of dreams I’ll never know
…envisions worlds I’ll never go
And come the morning, she will rise
Adventure pouring from her eyes
So bright and ready to start the day
I just wish she were here to stay

Feelings of passion explode into tears
All hopes for the future are now empty years
A lack of direction and no aspiration
Stuck in this world, engulfed in frustration
Facing a dream that’s too real to be fake
But scared to admit it, and shy to partake
Their shallow beliefs and conception of love
Contradict all the lessons that were sent from above
So struggle, and strife, we try to be clever
Only to fail with each willful endeavor
A small piece of happiness shows in the light
At once it is gone, like a thief in the night
Alas, we realize that whatever we do
Will never be good enough for both me and you
There once was a time when love was the best
But all of those days have been long put to rest
And I see all the things that, as a child, I missed
All the hopes and dreams, that I long ago wished
They burn in a fire that’s fueled by my mind
Leaving nothing but ashes…that’s all I can find
There’s nothing in life that deserves more regret
Than wanting something that you know you can’t get
But trite as it is, I will never stop saying
Dreaming, hoping, and perhaps even praying
That one day they’ll see what I already know
And I’ll cheerfully tell them, “I told you so”
