Cendrillon

Show me just the dream of dancing till dawn
The clock chimes, casting its spell
Ambiguous fingers beckon on the stairs
Bouncing up three steps at a time
Shaking inside the carriage
Miserable old clothes, circling the night’s ball

Searching for unfamiliar faces
That whispering voice calls out
With a clenched blade pressed tight
Demanding to take it all away
In a castle where the lost gather
Smiling masks drawn on their faces
Even false kindness wrapped up
In the wings of a Seraph

Melting red in the ashes, mixed with the GLASS slipper

Now it’s too late to change, I’m trembling
As you glance at the clock
Kicking off my shoes, slipping down the SLOPE
With fingers stretching to my throat

Sipping droplets, kissing them
The rushing impulse, spine tingling in the moment

Don’t ring the bell
I kneel before you
My right hand screams, "Not yet!"
Stabbing with a SAYONARA
The princess cloaked in an unquenchable flame
Pierces through my frozen mask with strong eyes

Even now, your breath pierces my ears
A distant dream
The moon shines through Stained Glass
A veil draped over you

Tearing the dress at the knees
Throwing away the tiara
Eyes locked in a gaze
Sparks flying between us
Lonely souls igniting, drawn to each other
If those tears can’t be saved, it’s like playing alone

Time, stop now
I’m drunk on you
Wanting to engrave each
Trembling heartbeat
Stop, hot and wet
With the rising tide crashing down
I can’t move any further
It’s like a Fairytale.
