The Promised Land by Devi Nina Bingham

Empty fairytales draw me in

How I want them to be true

Weave a tale that makes me grin

Wonder if you always knew


Ideals of happily ever-afters

Easy answers for tangled troubles

For all your promises, there's little laughter

When we should be bathing in passion's bubble.


A delicate butterfly sought after

A lullaby of love hidden 'neath the rubble

A sunset without the kiss of a rose

The puppet master is obscured by the rafters

Aged, we turn to one another

The promised land hides in the shadows.
