Forest Fairy poetry

 

You know we could run away

I’d throw rocks at your window panes

We could abandon countless nights to stargaze 

Warm our hands by a fires warm blaze


Why don’t we run to the forest

Live there forever 

It’d be just like a fairytale but the best 


Why don’t we go find a castle 

And cover it with roses

Eat enchanted apples

And be forgotten by the world


Why don’t we retreat into folklore 

Why don’t we hide in our fantasies

Leave our world through a fae door

And we would live there forevermore.


We could run barefoot through fields of flowers 

Be isolated by our choice

We could sleep in forgotten bowers

Never to be discovered by an outside voice 


Why don’t we run to the woods

Swim in starlit waterfalls

We’d be just like the characters in your books

We could dive for treasure by the falls.


Why don’t we retreat into folklore 

Why don’t we hide in our fantasies

Leave our world through a fae door 

And live there forevermore.

Backstabbed

  “You've changed for the worst.” Go ahead tell me what you heard Try to come at me, make me hurt. See me at my lowest, and then desert. But I rose up from my pain Broke all my restraints And I’ve dealt with all the shame You try to make me feel. All this gossip behind my back I try to fight, then you attack From the other side With dastardly lies. And nobody seems to see My side. Nobody tries to read What they try to hide. And all the fake friends Are coming at me again We’re doing a dangerous dance And you’ve cheated, dagger in your hands. But I can rise up From all your backstabbing I can shut you up If I drown out your voice with my singing.

Flashback in a Filmreel....

  An abandoned dumptruck on the side of a woodland road. Seems like a set from a movie, the fading yellow contrasting the black and white of the forest so unexpectedly.  "A flashback in a filmreel..." - Taylor Swift
