Dark Fairy Tale

A sweet princess lays upon a bed All those who see her think she is dead The Prince wants to save her with his kiss He hopes that true love will bring them bliss Some Fairy Tales are filled with regret This Prince has a reason to be upset She has a heart he will never hold A part of the Story never told She loves another, but it's not him The light of her life starts to grow dim He kisses and cry's there is no hope Feeling lost his life ends with a rope This tale does not have a happy end Such a sad place this World of pretend The Princess paid the ultimate cost No more happy days all have been lost

Hi Richard, i love the impression you give here.. you are right some fairy tales are darker then we know.. regrets are also found in tales you say... wishing this story had a happy ending... still a very good poem..glad i stopped by... always~ LINDA

I was just watching once upon a time and it tends to lean somewhat to the dark side. I couldn't tell the story the same way so here is my Dark Fairy Tale.
