Cinderella

for the last time
the clock chimed twelve
will you miss me
just like i will

cinderella
dropped her slippers
but the glass shoe
shall remain there

see you again
by the Ganges
and once again
on the shore of
a darker stream

a dream i never want to wake up from

embarked on a trip

one that is a dream

fantasies shatter

yet my palms clutch tight 

day and night I pray 

last night never came

so that i can see

those puppy eyes again

it was a cold night

warmly we huddled tight 

your lips they are soft

perfectly fitting mine

if I had power

I’ll choose to stop time

halt in that moment

the rain, car and night

was it a mistake 

a sweet death i guess 

gassed my neck and throat

first with joy then sob

oh and those fingers

tangled like my heart

i wish they were mine

to hold and to bite

futile hopes and tears

no pity given 

that is what you get

being the nightmare

of their universe

in another one

could we meet again

our signs shall align 

the stars; dazzling bright

whisper in your ears

oh boy i love you

in another time

promise me by then

you will wait for me; 

our happy ending 

the chapter was short

the epilogue’s sad

but I have to go;

the dream got to end

thank god for replay,

this scene shall not fade 

and for showing me

that i can fall in

so hard and so deep

few last words for you,

i never lied that day

my heart did flutter 

I’m so glad we met 

forbidden;

i swore i'll never get back,
that the third time's the final bet
im dunked into the worst kind of net
one that is forbidden and bad

it will really be the last,
or at least that's what i convince myself
i said that as i hide behind this mask

why do i never get what i want,
all my yearns that i hunt
flashes across me and only haunts

yet all that i despise
like condiments they arise
exhausted i am to comply

my dear prince charming
oh the power you are wielding
only you can make me
shield your darkened land in the waiting

yet strings entangle you
just like the wind blew
i met you with your own troop,
one i selfishly hope will lose

dear god, put a stop to these
give me the strength to halt it
why would i put myself in agony,
one that is a real tragedy?

well, but we all know the final scene
i'll soon convince myself
that an attempt will still be worth it
