FAERIE QUEENE

Catching Faerie Queenes in mason jars
As they sparkle through the night
Like fireflies, I lure you in
So little resistance, so little fight

Got more than we bargained for
More than we ever imagined
A casual quest, a lustful test
To see our defenses are genuine

I don’t really possess you ( and I’m not sure I want to )
But memories are archived in my mind
I relive your sweetness in thought ( because that’s all I got )
So unique and outspoken, one of a kind

But I never knew how much I wanted you
When I thought I didn’t need you
But now, I know how much I want to keep you
Now that I know I’m losing you…

It wasn’t supposed to last forever ( and you said, you said )
All good things must come to an end ( and you got what you wished for )
A passing affair in the moonlit glare
I am sure my heart will mend

But I never knew how much I wanted you
When I thought I didn’t need you
But now, I know how much I want to keep you
Now that I know I’m losing you…

                                          Never saw it comin’
                                          Enchanted by angels in your eyes
                                          Heaven sent and Hell-bent
                                          To reflect the truth amidst the lies

                                         Catching Faerie Queenes in mason jars…
                                         They take their last breath
                                         As their lights fade
                                         Into the dark…
