Rose is Cinderella
~~11 months before the accident~~
She spins and she sways
To whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I'm sitting here wearing
The weight of the world on my shoulders
I see my Rose spinning and playing to the music she hums, so care free and full of energy, while I sit down, with my tie half done, suit dirty and hair messed up, I feel like the weight of the world on my shoulder...but I guess thats a Shinigamis job...
It's been a long day
And there's still work to do
She's pulling at me
Saying "Dad, I need you
its has not been easy, but I have to go back out soon. I get up to leave until I feel a tugging at my sleeve, I look down to see Rose pulling at me, her tiny voice says "Dad I need you"
There's a ball at the castle
And I've been invited
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"
I bend down wondering what could be upsetting my girl, she then tell me about a ball going on at price charming's castle, and how she was invited, and she needs help with her dancing, I look to the door, about to say I will help later, until I hear the words "Oh please daddy please"
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
So I pick her up, and spin her around the room, taking hugs steps and not caring anymore, I dont want time to continue, I want her here, in my arms, because I know, one day...something will happen, and she will leave my arms for another, so I wont miss even one song, but soon the clock will run out...
~~the night of the accident~~
I see my girl being carried away by a demon, and away from my heart, away from me, forever...
And she'll be gone...
~~1 year latter~~
She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says, "Dad, the prom is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"
I come to her window as I do everynight to see her, and I see she is sitting in a chair, facing the window she smiles at me and motions me to come in. She is 9 now and she looked alright, she had a patch over her eye and I could tell her leg was fake, she was in a ball gown, it was lovely, she looked so much like her mother, she told me about the one she loved, and how he will come back to her someday. She asked if I approved, I nodded, thats all I could do, until she said " Dad, I need help with my dancing, please daddy please"
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
she had not asked that in years since she asked, I said "of course my little princess" so I danced with her, we danced until the clock struck midnight, and she had to leave my arms, so she was gone, and I was left there again, reaching for someone I cant have...
And she'll be gone
She will be gone
~~day if her death~~
Well, she came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowing and telling us all they had planned
She says, "Dad, the wedding's still six months away
But I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"
as I walked up to her soul I could not help but hurt inside. I began to take her cinematic record until, I saw my little girl looking up at a younger me saying "daddy when I grow up and get married will you dance with me" I remember I didnt know how to answer till she said "oh please daddy please"
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
I watched as I smiled and danced with my Cinderella, she was in my arms, and I took it for granted, I fell to my knees, knowing I would never be that happy again, knowing that I would never hear her say Daddy, and I will never see that smile again...I lost her...
shes gone...
And she'll be gone
