MOVIE © Karyn Ellis

I am not a porcelain doll you can toss up on a shelf.
You crash the shop like a china bull, breaking pieces off yourself.
 
And oh, what kind of horror.
When you turn into a monster.
And I write songs. I write a happy ending.
We take down all the zombies and make it to the dawn.
 
And I am not a blinded fool, though I often lose my way.
Masked as love, your accusing words turn into me like a maze.
 
And oh, what kind of adventure.
When you tie me up in swinging rope.
And I write hope. I write a happy ending.
We find the sacred jewels--they shimmer like the dawn.
 
And oh, what kind of slapstick.
When you hit me with the punch line
And I write mine. I write a happy ending.
We stay up all night laughing and loving in the dawn.
 
And oh, what kind of movie.
When you cherish leading lady
And I write songs. I write a happy ending.
We drive off past the sunset and into the dawn
