Fractured Fairytale

The time has passed, the moment gone
Now, your eyes only glisten in my memory
In dreams, I am reminded of what I've lost
Which is something that I never truly found...
The contradictions are the key, here
As the fragile truth, crawls by unseen
For lying eyes are often clouded by fear
The wind blows softly, but the storm rages on...
If the devils weep for me, so be it
But, an angel is never fully lost
Take your prayers and send them skyward
And the clouds will send them back...
He feels he has the worlds weight, upon his shoulders
But, all that weighs on his back, is time
The time lost, the time gone by
The time found, the time yet to come...
Angel eyes sparkle and glow
Like embers fallen, from the proud and distant stars
Dust from the heavens, gracing his face
And I simply stare, lost in a sway of confusion...
All can be repaired, every wound mended
For the damage was never really done
It was only another illusion, to prove a point
And this reality was the illusion I could not see through...
I didn't have the answer, only a moment ago
But, here it is, wrapped in mystery
And I feel the tears creep upon me slowly
For through him, happiness has found me...
I no longer have to fear the things I once did
For those shadows are nothing but darkened sunlight
And those clouds naught but temporary mists
This slightly fractured fairytale, is my happily ever after
