←- Faery Led * | Without Her Wings * -→

I think you made me up one day, I think you gave me life

You plucked me from your nightmares, born of all your strife

I think you wrote this faerytale, a thousand lives before

I see a thousand manuscripts burning on your floor

 

We’re running from my nightmares

Too fast to see the stars

Too fast to lie beneath the moon

And talk of dreams for hours

 

I think you gave me wings to fly, so I’d come back to you

And as you wrote those crimson words, you sealed your own fate too

I think you cry a thousand tears because you know the truth

You trap your soul inside a curse of damned eternal youth

 

We’re running from my nightmares

Too fast to see the stars

Too fast to lie beneath the moon

And talk of dreams for hours

 

I know there’s something hunting us, that’s more than just the wild

I know you’ll face the poisoned blade that killed my inner child

I know you’ve tried to paint the sun, to show me to the light

You wrote the tale, I stole your soul, and sold it to the night

 

We’re living in my nightmares

And all the stars are dead

We’re gazing at the moon above

And feeling only dread

Yay Nimsy! Hee hee. I will have to say the 5 Nimsy poems are probably always gonna be the ones I love the best of all. Of course...there will also be poems for Kaylas...

:-) Lyndsay E. Gilbert aka Liadan replies: "So which of the Nimsy poems is your favourite? Thanks for the comment."

Excellent poem. I like how you used font changes to emphasize the point as well. It sounded very forceful and coercive, which doesn't happen often in poetry but is often pulled off very well. I liked this one as well.

:-) Lyndsay E. Gilbert aka Liadan replies: "Truth must be told- I didn't put those font changes in. They're there by mistake lol. Thanks for your comment! lol...maybe I'm being too truthful...hehe."
