This is just an original song I wrote. It’s for Dawm. Also for the second Weekly Writing Challenge.

The prompt was writing something to a loved one, so I did.

It’s inspired by The Ink Spots’ “I Don’t Want To Set The World on Fire” so read it similarly.

The Way Life Rolls[]

By Dashie

-

Once upon a fateful day

I told myself “there’s no way”

To have someone

To call my own.

I was young

I was dumb

And clearly thought that I’d

Be happy with no one there.

-

Once I read an alicorn

I realized that my heart was torn

Between a life

Of one or two.

I settled on

A girl with all

Of that alicorn’s traits.

-

I met someone in August

But thought they’d just

Be my friend

And nothing more.

Soon I confessed

Then I was blessed

With someone who loved me back.

-

5 months on

We’re going strong

And I can’t think

Of another one

To take your place.

I’m happy I met you

I’m happy we’re going through

A relationship to call our own.

Because sometimes

That’s the way

Life rolls.
