A/N: I can't say I ever wrote something like this before. It's a Song. I have a tune that I've been singing to it, but alas I haven't really got the experience, and maybe not talent, to make background instrumentals to it. But, in any case, this is my song. It's heavily inspired by OUAT, particularly Rumpelstiltskin, although I'm pretty sure you could apply it to other characters as well. Enjoy. ^_^ (Sorry for the bad formatting...it wasn't fairing well on here. I tried separating it with lines to break up the text and verses.)


"The Curse of Magic"

Those fairy tales of rags to riches,

Daring princes, evil witches,

Kisses that can conquer any curse.

A world where people want quick fixes,

Can you blame me for making wishes,

When life seems to go from bad to worse.


The promise of a magic wand,

Just wave it and the pain is gone,

Desperately I try to find my way.

I stole away into the night,

Victory was in my sight,

I didn't know the price I'd have to pay.

(I didn't understand the choice I made)


CHORUS:

*My cup is empty, my heart is chipped,

And now it seems I've lost my grip,

People slip away like sand,

This didn't go the way I'd planned


All this power amounts to nothing,

Can you make me believe in something,

You're the one thing that can save me now.

You were right, I was afraid,

I broke the deal that we made,

I wish you could come back to me somehow.


It's all my fault, the choice was mine,

I won't make that mistake this time,

Mirror mirror tell me what you see

The time will come, and we will pass,

One step beyond the looking glass,

We'll bypass any curse that comes to be.

(All I want now is to be set free)


CHORUS


BRIDGE:

This coward clings to broken trinkets.

And there's no magic that can fix this,

Please listen to the prayer I'm sending,

Can you please save my happy ending?


CHORUS
