When all I need is Prince Charming, but at the moment he is busy.

August 29, 2005

This night is restless

And I can’t say that I wanted it to

Be any different.

Scattered post-it notes line my cluttered desk

And my heart is broken.

The pieces fall to the dirty carpet and

I can’t place the blame on anyone.

I’m not in love with you.

You’re not in love with me. You don’t even

Know me.

I waste away each day reading about another’s romance

Claiming that one day it will be my turn to love

And be loved.

How wrong I am.

How foolish I sound. I smirk at my own

Naivete.

It is eerily quiet in my room

Where I sit each day alone and sad.

My only solace is the words you sing to me.

I close my eyes and dream.

Dream so big the sky might shatter.

I close my eyes and brave those dreams

Alone.

It is my choice to fulfill them

But for now I will settle them around me comfortably.

They give me hope.

All I need right now is

Hope.

Your wise words help me through this.

Every ounce of loneliness is my own doing

And I’m okay with that.

I’m okay.

I accept it.

I don’t blame you for breaking my heart.

I broke it on my own.

It’s okay to cry.

It’s okay to dream.

This world isn’t big enough for me and my silly dreams

And I’m okay with that.
