Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time, there lived a lady
With red painted lips and nails
She loved with all her heart and soul
This man who was often by her side
As the years passed by them both
They found their way together
Always a part of each other’s world
Forever alive in the dance of hearts
They followed their hopes and dreams
Went on to be even closer it seems
But as the years passed by them farther
They reached out and discovered poison
The poison was a potion of jealousy and greed
That left them feeling lost and alone
Despite the fact that they still traveled together
The road was getting worse as they went
Jealousy trapped them into letting others in
To the world that had been for her and him
Entangled in affairs that were adulterous
They were trapped by vicious lies and hurt
Greed brought them down to other’s level
Where they found they could no longer go together
They were left with nothing more than memories
Of a time when innocent love filled their dreams
Their once upon a time became a fatal dread
That led them off alone to reach toward tomorrow
With a hope that someway they’d lose their sorrow
And discover another best friend to share their heart
