Cinderella

Tonight, I wanted to go to the ball
It would start at 6:30,
Taking place at a palace
One with a grand hall

Although, I was poor
I had no gown to wear,
And I couldn't afford the purchase
Of a ticket, I was sore

It hurt to hear the music play
Guests cheering and laughing
Women sharing jewelry,
People dancing until the light of day

I wanted to part in this too,
No, for I was still stuck in my tower
Locked doors in front of me
For this was often, I knew

I had no fairy godmother,
No miracle at work
All I ever will do is slave away from my own pain,
I knew that I'll never see another

But all I could do
Is resist the pain with that nonexistent you,
Smiling at emptiness
Decaying with loneliness,
Loneliness meant for two
