Fantastic Fantasy

Tales of fantasy
And of happen endings
A heroic Prince
A damsel needing saving.

Hope within tales
Of an ideal life.
Love that conquers
All worries and strife.

Then sunset came
And those tales turned dark.
The twinkling stars
Didn't give enough spark.

A soft pillow
And overflowing tears.
A girl who tried
To battle her fears.

The darkness that once
Made her stand strong.
Blinded her eyes
And drowned out her song.

She tried to reach back
To a tale she had written.
Only to find
A different cloth woven.

They were all gone
Her joyful tales.
Scattered and battered
To the four gales.

She tried again
To make her hope rise.
But all she saw
Were sadness and lies.

She cried herself
To sleep that night.
Gone were the stories
That gave her life light.
