Not The One
I'm not the one
How could I ever be?
I once was that
Sitting in a tree
Hanging upside down
From high places
Careless and free
Pulling many faces
I dared to do
So much more
You wouldn't believe
Hard at the core
And now what
What's left of me?
Is there more than
Longing for the tree?
I'd like to think there is
Would you agree?
How much can you see
Of what's truly me?
Can you see that light?
Wanting to shine
Wanting so much
To be all mine
This girl has dreams
Not so little oh so grand
She wishes for the Universe
A raindrop in her hand
She wishes to be a smile
Across your pretty face
She wants to be the sweet one
And the one in blackest lace
She wants to be
Hey maybe perhaps even yours
She knows it isn't time yet
To open all those doors
Battered locks unlocked
With the turning of a key
Past undone and future untold
Would you like to share it with me?
