A fear of the pain
A fear of the lost
Just waiting with anxiety
With stares as cold as frost

Shadowed with guilt
I mourn with regret
Like a darkened highway
With the end never to be met

The feelings in his head
The hurt in my heart
From reality into darkness
A child is about to depart

This time has become a time for tears
This nightmare will never disappear
My child's soul will stay within
But my pain and regret will never mend

Over the hills and forest
Past the cliffs of the east
There lie a crystal palace
Wrapped in a cloud of mist

Like a fairytale, a story longed to be told
Of a fair sweet princess, cast under a spell
The crystal palace, her prison of ice
Not all that tempts her wandering eyes

One day her prince will come
On a horse of brilliant white
To kiss the fair princess
And turn the darkness into light
