Once Upon A Time

So, here we are again sir
standing at the edge
of the world
We are both here
for different reasons
me, I want to jump
my legs are pleading to leap
you, you’re here to stop me
you’re holding on to me, pulling me back
But sir, you don’t even know me
why are you stalling me?
My dear girl, he said
I want to know that beautiful face
I want to know the hurt
I want to know the why
My reply, sir this is crazy
Why do you want to know a girl
where everything inside her has died
You don’t know that he said
I see light in your eyes
a light that tells me you can fight
it’s not your time to die tonight
I look in his eyes, they are the bluest of blue
I finally sigh and my reply is
Sir, you make it sound so easy
to be alive, you make it sound so easy to try
Oh, my darling he said
This won’t be an easy road
I want to help you, just give me a try
My reply, why sir
he smiled and said
because I was in your shoes
