THE LOST MAGIC
She stood at the corner of the street
She seemed to attract my feet
I found myself walking to her table
She seemed...unstable
I went and dropped a coin in her hat
And in front of her I sat
She pulled flowers from her sleeve
It was so normal, I was about to leave
But then she gave me this mischievous smile
And it wasn't even a while
Before I saw all black
My mind was losing track
And suddenly the hat was on my head
And I was in my room on my bed
And she gave her magic wand a flick
And there ended her magic trick
In a seconds flash I was back on the street
As though I hadn't witnessed this magical treat
But something about her made me want to stay
Not just at that moment, but every day
Then I realized,
She was a witch, broken,
It's like her magic had begun to fade
It's sad, because not many people know this trade
To make people believe by making them see
To lock the cage, but still let the bird free
She'd make flames rise from the ash
Among black and white a colorful splash
If you saw the world through her eyes
Everything would seem like a prize
Not just silver, not just gold
But all things, young and old
All things that seem out of this world
From her very hand are unfurled
And in that moment, I was so spellbound
I asked her the only question I found
I asked her what she loved and feared
She said "magic darling, magic" and disappeared
She seemed to attract my feet
I found myself walking to her table
She seemed...unstable
I went and dropped a coin in her hat
And in front of her I sat
She pulled flowers from her sleeve
It was so normal, I was about to leave
But then she gave me this mischievous smile
And it wasn't even a while
Before I saw all black
My mind was losing track
And suddenly the hat was on my head
And I was in my room on my bed
And she gave her magic wand a flick
And there ended her magic trick
In a seconds flash I was back on the street
As though I hadn't witnessed this magical treat
But something about her made me want to stay
Not just at that moment, but every day

MERGING WITH THE SHADOWS
She stands in a short dress
The eyeliner smudged from her tears
She has a glass in hand, and stands in the dark
Along with her lingering fears
She has zoned out from her physical self
There are too many problems in her head
And she knew she had made a wrong decision
And now all she wanted was a bed
A bed so she could cry herself to sleep
In the stupid cheap dress she had bought
So that she could face the conflict in her head
A battle that she hardly fought
Her life was so much simpler than this
It was like a scoop of ice cream
She knew at some point, it would get done
But she didn't want to snap out of the dream
And then the worst had happened
She entered the real world
And it was only then she realized
That she was just a girl
She was a girl in shoes too big for her
And it was taking forever to grow into it
And every time she walked, she fell down
Because the shoes still wouldn't fit
She was judged by eyes she couldn't see
She was loved by those who weren't around
When she needed a shoulder to lean on
They were nowhere to be found
She drank her heart out
That's how she numbed her pain
And she caged her heart
So she wouldn't feel it again
And now here she stands in the darkness
Searching for just a little light
Hoping that someone would lend her a hand
And make her want to fight this fight
But till then, she'll remain where she is
She's a shadow in the dark
Searching fervently for herself
She is yet to make her mark
The eyeliner smudged from her tears
She has a glass in hand, and stands in the dark
Along with her lingering fears
She has zoned out from her physical self
There are too many problems in her head
And she knew she had made a wrong decision
And now all she wanted was a bed
A bed so she could cry herself to sleep
In the stupid cheap dress she had bought
So that she could face the conflict in her head
A battle that she hardly fought
Her life was so much simpler than this
It was like a scoop of ice cream
She knew at some point, it would get done
But she didn't want to snap out of the dream
And then the worst had happened
She entered the real world
And it was only then she realized
That she was just a girl
She was a girl in shoes too big for her
And it was taking forever to grow into it
And every time she walked, she fell down
