Overthinking Subtleties

Sinking deeper and deeper in despair As I raise my hands and murmur a prayer Oh, how I wish those fairytales were true And happ’ly e’er afters, we had no clue What would happen next, what would come to pass Would have had us lost, had we heard en masse About what was to happen, what had come In lover’s slumber, restless night for some While others were sleeping, waiting for day In which they could live without such a delay As a broken heart, stopped me in my tracks Left me questioning life, love, and the max To which we could go, not much, I replied For what would happen if I were his bride Was I married to player, just wanting To use me in jest, and then leave, taunting Or am I just joking, overthinking I should go to a bar, sit there drinking Sinking deeper and deeper in despair As I raise my hands and murmur a prayer
