She is disconnected.

She lies, cheek against reality

She dreams

Of far off places and epic love

Of tragic circumstances and devotion

The Eternal Queen of happily ever after

Walks to math class

The one true love of the dark prince

Daydreams on the school bus

They kiss and laugh and grow

They are pushing ahead

Normal.

She struggles and cries

Crystal Ball a place of fears

What is wrong with me?

Guardian Angel holds her back

She can’t let go.

It is just a dream.

Not the kind that can come true

Where they are old.

She is young.

Where they are young.

She is old.

If she tries she might fail

If she let’s herself fall,

She will fall too hard.

She tries to try, she tries to fall

She can’t.

Afraid.
