Manic Pixie Dream Girl

I am your manic pixie dream girl.

On the surface

I’ll take you further

than your wildest dreams

open you up to fevered imagination

and wild fantasies,

I’ll have you inspired

to explore the darkest cave

and an open ocean

with hopes that one day

I’ll kiss you.

I am your manic pixie dream girl.

On the surface

I’m the bubbles in the champagne

I have a way of removing pain

let me take your hand into a gentle sway

as we dance the night away

under starry skies

stare into my moonlit eyes.

I’m your manic pixie dream girl?

I’m adventure into the unknown

on the surface though,

is that my only purpose?

I’ve seen this before

late at night in a hotel

I’m sorry I’m not your Zoe Deschanel.

I can give you 500 days of summer

but after I don’t suddenly expire?

your real life manic pixie dream girl is more than a two dimensional tv trope built on directors hopes.

Am I your manic pixie dream girl?

On the surface

I can take you further

than your wildest dreams

open you up to fevered imagination

and wild fantasies.

I’ll have you inspired

to explore the darkest cave

and an open ocean

with hopes that one day

you could do the same with me,

travel across every inch of my skin

and fuck me like it’s a sin.

Traverse the deep expanse of my mind

and know

your manic pixie dream girl...

she has a name,

Aspirations,

Beliefs,

a job,

a qualification,

She’s had heartbreak

And made mistakes

and shes not just here to take your sadness away

Your manic pixie dream girl was never yours

she is hers

she is human.
