Open

You said I was a princess.
But that you weren't a prince.
Only a knight, because nothing
came with ease for you.
You worked for it all.
You said you'd keep me whole.
As long as I stayed open.

The tears fell that night,
How I cried for you.
Split open, I was hollow.
Gallantly you returned.
You said you'd never go again.
My knight was here to stay is what
you said.

The way you pressed your lips to mine.
How our fingers intertwined.
The way you whispered in my ear,
Erased every fear,
The way your hands would venture
and you'd pull away, apologizing
as if under your touch I would break.
But I was open.

You filled my dreams,
You promised me that our
schemes would be fulfilled.
"Just wait two years babygirl,
Then you'll be forever mine"

Your promises still resound,
even though, again,
you let me down.
You said two years was far away,
That you'd want me again on a summer
day.
As summer nears, my heart beats faster,
dreaming of my knight to save me from this
lonesome disaster.
