No Happy Ever After For Me

The times I let down my guard I fell way too fast and hard Leaving me in such distress When I wanted nothing less For my heart than lots of laughter And happily ever after But this dream was lost and fadin' Leaving me as and old maiden With no true love by my side No matter how much I tried There's only so much pain to take Till I learn from my mistakes As I realize there is No moist lips for me to kiss That whisper I love you so sweet My happy ending will just fleet Into the darkness of the night Dreams are fading out of sight Knowing my life will become A black pit I will fall from With no escape from the pain That my days and nights sustain

Reminds me of the lyrics to Don Henley's "End of the Innocence". We've been poisoned by these fairly tales. Good write Robin.

That was a very sad ending to your "once upon a time...". But, you can always add another chapter to the story or maybe, write a new one! I admire the honest emotion and the heart that you always put into your poetry. Well done, Robin!...Thank you for the wonderful comments on my poem, "We". :)

A poem filled with regret, what is love if not the abandonment of self?
