Chasing Grief

Wistful Thinking

Wistful Thinking

May 14, 2023

Green meadows and the lakeside abloom 
The sun high above; sparkling water spelled no doom 
Children's laughter filled the air much like a chorale 
You and I stood side by side, swearing never a moment shall be dull

I stood on a hill, white dress billowing in the wind 
Your arm stretched out, your hand offered to me 
I took it; it was then when maybe I had sinned 
For at the same time, the breeze took my hat with a glee

"Give and take," the nature decrees 
The time of my life was with you, it was a magical one 
Had I been a princess, I'd be friends with the trees 
They'd say "Marry him; have a daughter and a son"

I'd ride a carriage, shining, made of glass 
"If this was a dream, don't let me wake up" 
Midnight comes and I'd still be with you in a dance 
You take me to your room, handing me wine in a cup

Alas, such foolish daydreams do not come true 
The carriage shattered, from the dream I awoke 
Morning til midnight, and again I long for you 
Still you do not come no matter how many times I broke

Butterflies emerge from the chrysalis they made 
Children grew from their innocent age 
Were you here, we'd be on the grass, with a blanket laid 
You'd be here and I, free from this cage

I recall our happy days. Where did I go wrong to be punished with pain like this? Maybe in another life, the odds would be in our favor. Maybe if I was a princess, the world would be kinder. Maybe if you were still here...
