As a little girl I have dreamed Of this one world Where everything Had a happy ending And once upon a time Happened all the time A little girl’s heart A little girl’s heart I played house with him As he swept the house He swept me from my feet And we did dishes together With soap bubbles on our noses We’d kiss like the eskimoes And my heart fluttered Happily through the skies Eating its wonderful pie. The dream faded its light And from lurking in the night The nightmare mugged my dream I turned to look away, But it was burned on my eyes So I hopelessly watched As the terror unfolded The hot water scolded And I couldn’t hold it. I walked down the aisle All were sitting and hissing What was I missing? Why was I so disdained? I needed them to explain But they just spat and scorned And I just kept on walking Why had I even been borned Why had I even been borned Then my eye met my foot As it continued its step And as black as soot Was my wedding dress. And I stood alone in the front Crashing to my knees And two oceans blue colliding There was no hiding There was no hiding The place was in an uproar Familiar faces laughing Faces once soft now hard as flint But then all became so silent. I wanted to look up but scared I could not even dare it. Sole soles strolled closer As my dress got blacker Completely soaked in tears The feet in front of me I stopped breathing As a hand touched me And then two hands grabbed me Underneath my arms and lifted Me to my feet now standing. My heart stopped beating As fear flooded over me As fear flooded over me Then my dress slipped from one shoulder Then my body was colder As the dress was on the floor My breasts laid bare Trembling as all stood to stare His white clothing was fair As well as their hissing Wake up! I screamed inside Wake up! Go and hide. His hand moved to my back And a finger lifted my chin His eyes of fire yet desire He pulled me in tenderly Yet hugging so devouringly Like a lion starving I was in him embraced And he completely covered me He completely covered me. And my eyes shot wide With beads as hills on my nose While the ceiling hid the sky I remembered: As a little girl I have dreamed Of this one world Where everything Had a happy ending And once upon a time Happened all the time A little girl’s heart A little girl’s heart. |
