Once I was drifting to sleep,
Alone in a forest tall and deep,
Lies of love and stolen fae hearts,
Encompassing my dreams of yonder years.
Fire’s orbs fading with every breath
Time takes its toll on those of disbelief
Lush ivies protecting against fearsome warriors
Eyes of green watching everso closely
Thief of Hope hiding to find
‘ How did he steal something that wasn’t mine?’
Pixiedust breath and fae heart
Fight for adventure, a longing to start
Cross borders to a watery silence, beyond dare
Truth behind lies and a promise never kept
“Fae are not to be trusted” Panpipes fluttering
Alone with sorrow and hate I sleep.
