A NURSERY RHYME
It's a strange affair; Enter if you dare,
But all those who enter be warned.
A true lie from the start; a broken heart;
the place where misery is born.
When he came along I thought he belonged
In this tome where the dreamers reside.
I opened the door like I'd known him before,
And he smiled as he stepped inside.
The rhyme became real; I started to feel
Like illusion was a place to belong.
Then the pages turned, we crashed and burned
In the flames of a frozen Love song.
Now the memory is an ember glowing cold
I sift the ashes of time in my mind.
Words written in whispers; words in the dark
Burning... each and every line.
It's a strange affair for all those who dare
Enter... and you'll seek what you find.
