cold stone castle

Submitted by Aisling on Fri, 07/25/2008 - 01:45

Used to be I could see
into the sunset of my future
Everything smiling at me
and just crying "adventure!"
Somewhere between then and now
I caved to fear somehow
Next thing I know he has
stolen my hope from my hands
and I find my dreams
on the ground at my feet
in pieces

And now I'm locked up without even a view
captive, without a hope of finding you

Come find me tonight
I need you to fight for me
If you don't come, nobody will
and I'll be left all alone
in this cold stone castle

Used to be innocent
thinking that life was a fair game
Giving my love without fear
never dreaming of heartache
Somewhere between then and now
pain came and knocked me down
Oh, to be loving unloved
to be misunderstood
oh, to give my heart
and to feel it fall apart
rejected

And now I'm locked up, unable to breathe
captive, desperate for you to rescue me
and set me free

Come find me tonight
I need you to fight for me
charge the gate, and slay the dragon
Promise you won't leave me alone
in this cold stone castle

Kiss me
wake me up from this nightmare
draw me
we'll run away somewhere
away, far from this cold stone castle

Come find me tonight
I need you to fight for me
I need your heart to desire my heart
I need your love to save me from
this cold stone castle

I love this, Aisling! Is it supposed to be just a regular poem or a song? It'd be so cool as a song!
