Happy Endings

All that I am and all that I've done for love and a happy ending now seems like it was for thing at all, There doesn't seem to be a happy ending at the end of this story no one's hearing loves call, I should have learned by now there's no such things as fairytales only human tales, And as humans were complicated beings which is why our love so often fails, Nothings ever as simple ads the fairy tales we believe as children and aspire too, In reality the human heart is difficult and happy endings only exist for a few, You may think your doing everything for the best to move the story on but it stalls, And then your left with a shattered dream and that wish upon a star falls. We let our children believe these fantasies building great expectations only for them to realise there not real, Then their love fails and they blame themselves for not achieving the happy ending and self doubt is what they feel, We should be teaching the human tale where the road is never smooth and happy ending's come after heartache and pain, Yet we should all still believe in love just not the wishy washy fairy tale love whose colours always run in the rain, Happy ending do happen but not in the fairy tale sense and only after a mix of emotions and the learning of all loves lessons, So some of us choose to live by lust instead but when the tale grows old they regret not having taken a risk for loves blessings, We need to stop pinning our hopes on the fairy tale happily ever after there never real the day after her wedding cinderella was dead, Snow white realised she like girls and it wasn't a phase and the most real ending of all sleeping beauty was found doing something else in bed. The moral of this human tale is we try, we fail, and we pick ourselves up to try again and again, Love is worth trying for but you have to realise its only truly experienced with a happy ending when you've experienced the pain.
