Sleeping Beauty

Delusional

I believed I could cure it all, for you, dear

Coax, or trick, or drive, or

Drag the demons, from you

Make it right, for you

Sleeping Beauty, truly thought

I could, magically, heal you

You're far beyond a visible sign of your awakening

I'm failing, miserably, to rescue

Sleeping Beauty

Drunk, on ego

Truly, thought I could make it right, if I

Kissed you, one more time, to

Help you face the nightmare, but you're

Far too poisoned, for me

Such a fool, to think that I could

Wake you, from your slumber

That I, I could, actually, heal you

Sleeping Beauty

Poisoned and hopeless

Far beyond, a visible sign of your awakening

Failing, miserably, to find a way to comfort you

Far beyond, a visible sign of your awakening

Hiding from some poisoned memory

Poisoned and hopeless

Sleeping Beauty
