The Land before Time
In the land before time
Dainty, alluring and divine
She and me were in love, or so I did surmise –
Only with her kiss, I thrived
With her touch, survived
And felt paradise, albeit in illusion’s disguise.
Then one day, a cruel bastard
Called reality, remastered
Caught me unawares, enslaving me it professed –
In the land before time
Dainty, alluring and divine
She and me were a lie, I was just a fool obsessed.
In her wake, I had faltered
And my destiny, I had altered
Now as I procrastinate, to me the wind murmurs –
A devil’s advocate, she had been
Laid claim to my heart, unseen
But had made me sell her my soul, in exchange for hers
