Alabaster

 

There was a moment in time

I believed in fairy tales

The lies we tell ourselves

That true loves ever meant for us

Innocent and doey eyed

And unable to believe 

In true love crimes

I was

Alabaster

Porcelain 

Unblemished 

And breakable

Was who I was

Before life tarnished me

And now

I’m fragmented. 

I stand a victim, the crime 

Believing in love always fails

It’s a crime for the shelves

That matrimony is a must 

Now I’m bitter and jaded 

I can no longer receive 

Love in these times 

I was

Alabaster

Porcelain 

Unblemished 

And breakable

That’s now the past

Now ruined I can see 

Just how

Badly dreams have lied

I could sit and wait and cry it out

While I’m waiting for someone to figure it out

That’s not my place not my game 

As of now I’ll never be the same 

I’ve waited forever for the one 

But I see that hope is gone

I remember a time when because 

I was. 

Alabaster

Porcelain 

Unblemished 

And breakable

Was who I was

Before life tarnished me

And now

I’m fragmented. 

That’s now the past

Now ruined I can see 

Just how

Badly dreams have lied
