Poem
Does happily ever after really exist? Is it a cruel joke with a sardonic twist? When the girl gets the boy, or boy the girl, Life seems so good, a love affair in a whirl; But the fairy princess dream, prince charming scream Escapes the heart and blows the mind As the whole fanciful delusion you’ll never find; Watching the chick flick on an extra-large screen, Can you feel the favour as you join the scene That shows the hero marry the girl, Then see him run away with the best man? There are no happy endings in this world today; The joke is the kicker in the face that blows away Every thought of romance, rather escape to France! But you continue hoping for that fairy tale end, When the prince rides in on a charger and steals you away; Are you blind to the passion that burns in the head, While the heart beats faster, you could end up dead As the perfect amour breaks in to your soul, And stirs up the hornets that burn you whole, Now the happy ever after can fall into the abyss; Stop searching for happy ever after, the prince has left And the dream is over, while you discover you are bereft As the lover you thought was the prince of your dreams Turned out to be the extorter of screams And stealer of hearts, who smashes the happiness into the park Leaving you wandering the streets after dark, Hoping to discover it was never your part to end this way; Happy ever after never happens in real life, There is crying, there is pain, and so much strife; Reach out with your heart to the only true love, The one who stretched his arms on a cross and said, ‘I love you this much’ and gave you his life; With a thunderous roar the grave gave up the dead, And the Prince of Heaven rose up and lives no more departed; So stop trying to find your prince in your dreams, The only one you need has seen your scenes And reaches into your heart to take out the pain From losing the hope of true romance, all you need is a second chance, And the hand of the Son of the King, who will give more than a ring; Crown is received if you will bend the knee, In homage to the only Prince where happy ever after is seen.
