I used to be a Queen
A butterfly
And I was not
Afraid to die
Surfing the waves
Of come what may
Now I just stand in the rain
And make hay, may hay
And all the seasons blend into one
Everything one under the sun
That shines on the clouds
That I fear to speak out loud  
For fear it might disturb
The quaking ground
So I don’t make a sound 
And suffer in silence
Like that ad long ago
With the person crumpled on the floor
It’s an open door 
That I just walk through
And I guess the means were you
In an incantation that I fear to speak
Lest love makes me weak
In the summer days
But the power plays 
Shatter the glass 
Coz nothing is born to last
That you see, ephemeral
I’m longing for the eternal 
To crack like an egg
I broke at the edge instead 
And poured into an empty bowl
But they cannot capture my soul
Only roll
In an endless sea
There is no triumph over me
