since I've finished a lyric.

This doesn't have the correct format for a "lyric" really…but I'm always reluctant to call what I write poetry.
In the end, I always want what I write to become a song….but sometimes it comes out in a way that isn't really a lyrical format. oh well. If only I could write music….I know I could make this work…format be damned. LOL

I'm really happy with this…


Done

Sittin' under Orion's light
on a cold winter night
I wished a wish on the first star's light
But I know it ain't coming true tonight

Good bye I whisper into the cold
the word is frozen as I sit here alone
There's no warmth to thaw the chill that grips hold
as I realize your heart is no longer my home

I believed in your could be's and all your somedays
felt like a fairytale when I came back to stay
but as you fade back to where you remain
I can't make you act like the words that you say

And I'm no longer the girl that I once was
I'm fulfilled, happy and lucky in love
It took a little while but I realize I'm done
waiting for what I know you'll never become

ahhh-hhaaa!!
Got one done!!

I am PSYCHED!!!!
Enjoy!

For the record…this is not about Zak. lol.
Just had to throw that disclaimer in.

    I love this Joanna! I think the first verse is a bit clunky but you find the rhythm with the second and by the third:

    I believed in your could be’s and all your somedays

    felt like a fairytale when I came back to stay

    but as you fade back to where you remain
