Midnight Dancer

Innocence Away

Midnight dancer, shaking and grinding the night away

Riding solo, riding on the back of winds

Not all the stares in the world make her stay

Or get her out of the boundary she's in

Walking a path untouched and forever made lonely

Blessing and curse, magnificent creations born

Escaping embraces and all that is holy

Before the other half of her hope is torn

Let go of it already, foolish girl, don't give in

Accept the inevitable and then walk on by

Let mistakes be made in confined sin

So, those unrealistic fantasies can slowly die

There was a time and place where it seemed in reach

The impossible made sparkly and floral like paradise

Now, her lips are only used for the preach

And to seek others love and empathize

I can save myself, I don't need a hero

I don't need a knight in shining armor

Before you tried, you should've known

How crucial it was not to harm her

Love always,

Chayle
