SheWasTheSun

Single Story

Once upon a time

You were my single story

They\'d tell it, they\'d try

Their hearts full of worry

 

They\'d say

On Mackenzie Drive

She lost her mind

A sweet love turned sour

Just at golden hour 

A tragic plight

An endless fight

A downward spiral

A sad poems pile 

A tattooed tear

Another lost year

That poor girl

Trapped in his cruel world 

 

You were all I was

Everything was us 

The good, the bad, the great

I stood, I sat, I stayed 

Through it all, you were it

No matter what you did 

And so I melted into you

They saw us stuck like glue 

 

But it\'s time for a new tale

One where she prevails

A book of light and grace

Of brightly colored days 

It\'s time for golden hour

It\'s time for her tower

 

Once upon a time 

She wrote her own story

They read it, they cried

At her love-fueled fury
