Replying to a comment on:
When Fairy Tales Forgive Us (Free verse) by J.B. Manning We were
Sitting in the dark
Listening to the dark
Waiting for the dark
To swallow up our hearts
But nothing saves the day
And nothing dulls the pain
When everythingâs the same
And youâre tired of this game
Itâs time to face the shame
Of the things Iâve done to you
And the things Iâve done to us
Of the lies Iâve told to you
And the lies Iâve told to me
We were
lying on the floor
Drowning in our tears
Together we were there
Facing our worst fears
And asking for a chance
To beat this thing at last
But thereâs little we can do
Until my eyes see you
And I see my guiding light
And I find the strength to fight
But Iâm lost inside my skin
The addictionâs closing in
And Iâm running from myself
While youâre sitting on a shelf
Waiting for the day
When the demons go away
And the fairy tales forgive us
For the lies that we have known
And the angels In our lives
Become devils in disguise
And everything we do
Is the hardest thing weâve done
But we do it anyway
And we face another day
When the darkness fades to gray
And the Fairytales forgive us.
