Cry Baby

© Anne-Marie Brzezinski (2013)

The future's planned
A love assigned
He's fabricated in your mind
The man of gold
He isn't real
Created from a blind ideal
A distant dream
One thought away
And yet your heart's in disarray

Cry baby, cry baby
Don't live a lie, baby
There's nothing to achieve
When it's all make-believe

One day you're up
And then, you're down
Your prince has yet to claim his crown
"Why can't he be?
He owns my heart
My life feels like it's come apart."
The same laments
The same old scene
You love to play the drama queen

Cry baby, sigh baby
Kiss him goodbye, baby
Put him up on a shelf
Learn to first love yourself

You cannot shine
And be a star
Till you discover who you are
A little time
A secret key
A love mature and meant to be
The future waits
A warm embrace
When youth evolves to hope and grace

Cry baby, fly baby
Look to the sky, baby
There's so much to explore
Open hearts learn to soar
All your heartbreaks will heal
And you'll know love is real
