. . . She Knows . . .
She lives in an echo; in a void
A faltering memory of conscious dreams
The fairy tale used to shine so bright
It's faded and torn and gone
She used to dream of stars and clouds
Of lullabies and angels' wings
The beasts that come to her at night
They're bidden and loved and loathed
She wonders if she's going mad
In shades of grays and reds and midnight black
The eyes that close just one last time
They're empty and dark and dull
She opens her eyes to the morning sun
It wasn't supposed to happen
Gone are the smiles; the laughter
With screams and sobs and moans
She knows it's too late now to fix the broken
It's much too late to change the past
Everyone and everything reminds her
There is no `happily ever after.'
