love and laughter
teetering somewhere
beyond the ridge of disaster
passion and romance
lost in the void
of a heart that can't take a chance
CHORUS
the princess lies choking
on words never spoken
drowning in memories
of dreams that will never be
V2
success and ambition
tangled among
plans never brought to fruition
wants and desires
burried within
a soul afraid to climb any higher
CHORUS
BRIDGE
dead to the world
lost to herself
her future unfurls
we all know it well
empty and vain
a candle without a flame
not broken or maimed
but dead just the same
CHORUS
-Portia 2006
