A Bad Boy I Could Fix

Used to think I was the crazy one
Believing in forever-after-love and a prince
But then I began dating frogs
And one vampire

I thought the vampire would be soft inside
A bad boy I could fix
He was a terror
Showing me that his concept of love was control

I barely escaped him
But I was no longer happy with frogs either
There has to be a giant puppy dog somewhere
Who wants to like me

I dare not use the word love anymore
Believing in forever-after is gone
Believing in being rescued is gone
Believing in a prince is sheer folly

There are crazies out there
Crazier than me even
Which I dared not think possible
Until I met the Vampire

I once met a guy who had a love affair with a strand of licorice. No wait, I think it was a shoe string.

He sounds like a keeper. Why did you throw him back into the pond? Ha!
