"You Won't Hear My Song Tonight"

by Max Phineas

You scoff at the notion of horse-carried princes
In hope of a peasant with eyes of a king
blessed with a velvety voice that convinces-
in tones soft and pleasant-
the rise of the Spring.

Your bass clef barstool
Spins you into soft oblivion

And I, in my homespun heart
Will watch from afar
And sing into the dark.

I love this! I especially enjoy all the fairy tale references. The ending is magical...a dark kind of magical.

yes, girls unfortunetly like jerks and forget about the prince charmings out there.
