Robin Davis Poet Rhyme

No Happy Ever After For Me

The times I let down my guard
I fell way too fast and hard
Leaving me in such distress
When I wanted nothing less
For my heart than lots of laughter
And happily ever after
 But this dream was lost and fadin'
Leaving me as and old maiden
With no true love by my side
No matter how much I tried
There's only so much pain to take
Till I learn from my mistakes
As I realize there is 
No moist lips for me to kiss
That whisper I love you so sweet
My happy ending will just fleet
Into the darkness of the night
Dreams are fading out of sight
Knowing my life will become
A black pit I will fall from
With no escape from the pain
That my days and nights sustain

Robert Pettit March 13, 2014 at 10:22 PM Reminds me of the lyrics to Don Henley's "End of the Innocence". We've been poisoned by these fairly tales. Good write Robin.

Kelly Deschler January 23, 2014 at 10:06 PM That was a very sad ending to your "once upon a time...". But, you can always add another chapter to the story or maybe, write a new one! I admire the honest emotion and the heart that you always put into your poetry. Well done, Robin!...Thank you for the wonderful comments on my poem, "We". :)
