NaPoWriMo #1 - Shuffle a Poem

My songs:
I'm still here - Johnny Rzeznik
Tinkerbell - James Newton Howard
These Walls - Trapt
Lullaby - Orange Appeal
Butterfly - Corinne Bailey Rae



The last night

How long
have I sat behind these walls
in the castle you built me?

These walls
made of all the finest marble
and held together
with a mortar of lies.

How come I'm still here?
Do I imagine
that a brush of Tinkerbell's wings
or a lullaby
will be enough to set this right?

I'm foolish enough.
We both know that.

But even I acknowledge
that we'll never fly again:
we're a one-winged butterfly
and I'm the only one trying.
