Once upon a time, hope lit up her eyes
Her soul bright with cheers
Now the light has burned out and
Her soul is fading away.
She looks up a the dark sky
Realising "once upon a time" ends well
But only in dreams of others,
For her dreams are no more
As nightmares reside with her.
She is afraid of slumber
As she is afraid of the stories her mind shows her on nights.
