Write the End To This Fairy Tale

He didn't see her tears He didn't hear her sigh He couldn't see the longing That was burning in her eye He didn't notice her He didn't seem to care She was slowly giving up Dying in her despair She just didn't know how To make the embers blaze She walked around in gloom Her life an endless maze But then…someone came by A chivalrous kind knight Who saw her real beauty And took note of her plight He tried his best to woo her To fill up the empty space He said, “Look in my eyes See the reflection of your face. You are altogether lovely A goddess from another plane.” She couldn't believe all this Did he think she was insane? But slowly her heart melted She started to tingle inside The joy shone from her face It was hard from love to hide Now she faced a dilemma What was she supposed to do? Leave the one she still loved To grasp a love that’s new? Dear Reader, to this fairy tale We must find a happy end For we have yet to see If the knight is heaven sent There are many simple truths That are woven in this tale But clearest of all is this: Love unurtured is bound to fail.
