Not Today
One day my Prince will come
But that day is not today
Today my heart is split in two
And I’m having trouble finding my breath
Because when you left
You knocked the wind out of me
Without so much as a warning
So now
I have a knife in my back
A stake in my heart
And worst of all
I have a lump in my throat
And tears in the corners of my eyes
That I just can’t get rid of
I know that one day my Prince will come
But that day is not today
Today I feel
Confused
Used
Bruised
And really sad
But you’re really happy
And that really sucks
It’s amazing really
How quickly things change
Hot to cold
Fast to slow
Yes to no
It’s funny how you changed your mind
From hot fast yes
To cold slow no
In the blink of an eye
In the snap of a finger
And now I have to change my mind too
But I guess that’s okay
One day my Prince will come
And now I know that day is not today
But that’s okay
Because now I know that sometimes
Boys pretend to be princes
Boys change their minds
Boys make the wrong choices
And sometimes
Boys are really dumb
But when my Prince comes
He better hold on tight
Because you never know
Next time
I could be the one changing my mind
