Unreality Unto Thee

By Liath

Unreality Unto Thee

You're no longer in control
Falling
It's slipping
Through your fingers

Everything's A-O.K
But suddenly
Your world turns a shade of grey
Just when things had started buddin'

Can't get through it
Can't ignore it

Don't want to end it
But don't know what else to do

Lying in your bed
Crying at night

Running to your brother
For help
Which he gladly gives
For he knows you best

He offers his chest as a resting place
For your head
When the only other alternative
Is the backs of your family

Losing control
Why do they try to be nice now
When you could have used the
"Sincerity" ages ago?

It's because he's afraid of losing
His princess
To Prince Charming.

--For my friend Heather. She's gone through some rough times lately, and I've always been the one she's run to. (I'm not "Prince Charming" btw)
