her heart was broken and battered before
and she was slowly on the mend
but she took a chance and opened herself
to someone that she loved then.
he had to go away from her...
and she cried because she didnt want it to end
but a new light was cast in her life
when she was left in the care of his friend
the days they passed so slowly,
and she greatly missed her love
but the friend gave her support and strength
and told her that she could rise above
and when she was afraid
that her love for her one had died
he held her and reassured her
he was the one there when she cried
in months that passed she felt different
she didnt know what was wrong
her heart was singing again, softly
but it was an unfamiliar song
she was falling in love all over
or maybe it was for truly the first time
she didnt know what to do
she thought, "these feelings cant be mine"
she was so very scared...
she felt so wrong for what she had done
that she had let this happen
that she felt in her heart, the friend was the one...
and when he told her she was beautiful
amazing, talented and sweet
she listened very carefully
his words rang out strong, hit hard and went deep
and when he told her about how he wished to build her
fragile beatiful glass castles in the sky
she closed her brown eyes and bit her lip
she tried so hard not to cry...
right then she knew that night she would be dreaming
of holding him in her arms so close and so tight
kissing his lips so softly
and watching over him throughout the night
she shouldnt have dreams like these
the price to pay for him was steep
her heart was supposed to belong to another
and dreams were to be of glass castles when she went to sleep
she knew his feelings were careful
and she felt she was being untrue
not to just the one her heart was promised
but to him, if she didnt say "i love you too"
so she thought a moment and whispered softly
"lets just wait and see..."
but even if she waited a thousand days
she still knew what her answer would be.
she wanted so badly to tell him that
and to stay silent, all her control it did take...
she was afraid if she didnt say something...
her glass castle would break.
break into a thousand pieces...
shards of sharp sparkling glass
raining down upon her
cutting her hard, deep and fast
her glass castle was what she dreamed of
when her heart was about to break
who knew that her glass castle
would be the source of more pain to take
but she admitted she would do anything
stand and let herself be ripped to shreds...
to have one last memory of its unspeakable beauty
an enternal glass castle in her head
it was a double edged razor
she didnt know what to do
she knew it was unfair
to let her heart be in love with two
she felt she was a traitor
to the one that went away
she was all that got him through
and she thought of him everyday
but the one that is here
she loved hard, deep and true
she believed this was truly the first time
so...she told him "im in love with you"
as soon as she said the words
tears streamed down her frightened face
she hoped she hadnt scared him
and she hoped telling him wasnt a mistake
but he held on tight
and he told her to be patient, not so fast
if there was truly magic between them
forever it would last
and so now she passes each day
and listens to her heart
but what he doesnt know...
is that its still tearing her apart...
she is confused...and scared...
guilty and charged with a crime
of falling in love with the friend
when her one left her for a little time
but she will do as he says...
wait...and try to follow along
and her heart...faintly..it is still singing
even though its still that different song.
it sings the song of glass castles
nestled in the clouds and hidden in the sky
beautiful, fragile glass castles....
unbreakable...no matter how hard you tried.
