Somewhere

Snow Queen

I woke up

It felt as if I were full of poison

That was new

I grabbed my things and headed out the door

None of the other princes in the castle cared to follow me out or take me home

I walked down the street of darkened houses

It was cold

My lungs felt as if they were on fire

I passed the forest

There appeared a stag

His long strong legs propped himself in the forest

I crossed into the kingdom where we had loved

There was your tower

Where another girl lay asleep in your arms.

I traveled under the telephone lines

Looked up at the Milky Way

There was Arcturus and there was Vega!

I stared for hours

I thought if I looked really hard and really listened

All the forgotten kingdoms could tell me my fate

Those stars were silent and I understood

We had to choose something to forget and something to remember when our souls were born onto this earth

It came to be my turn

I chose to forget safety and to remember awareness

Now a demon that haunts me

She has no name but she is beautiful

She sees all the stars and feels only despair

She was a presence of ethereal beauty

With a kimono the color of lily pond and long, curly hair tinted by the fire

She hid when she noticed you

All you could do was follow her

You didn't know what you were chasing

Maternal warmth?

Ethereal beauty

An aspiring Snow Queen

Lift your hair off your neck

Spray perfume on in the cold

Practice perfect posture and correct the perfect body

Somewhere in the dark snowy hills

Your soul screams

She is tired of perfection

You wear your body and we are trapped

An expressionless face
