September 6th is my birthday.

While a special day, feels like a tragic day.

My naive thoughts, my painful emotions.

Left alone -- No friends, no family, and rather be that way.

My birthday is supposed to be special..

Instead right now, it's a grim fairy tale.

I am depressed, I am alone.

My prince doesn't want to see how far I fell.

My home isn't here, it is with him.

Only two birthdays, were special because he asked, what do I desire now.

Do you understand how I feel?

Obviously you don't, or you wouldn't see how I truly fell.

A fallen, broken spirit of thoughts to be healed.

The broken wounds are there, but you can't see them now.

I feel them inside and out. You can't see them because you will never be empathetic now.

You asked me once, what do you want for your birthday?

My birthday is a pause, until I am with you right now.
