Searching For Prince Charming - Ballade

Was it loneliness that convinced me to pursue Yet one more futile try, another mismatched mate The years pass quickly and the choices become few On eligibility’s scale I fail to rate A magical connection I cannot create My heart grows fatigued, a feeling so alarming Should I place my future hopes in the hands of fate Many are alone; where do you hide, Prince Charming I’m weary of searching yet feel I must renew The “frogs” say it’s my fault, but I recriminate I only kiss them hoping my dreams would come true No princes emerge; they only retaliate By leaving me alone on weekends with no date Do they realize it’s my ego they’re harming Happily ever after endings I inflate Many are alone; where do you hide, Prince Charming For years I’ve sought you out and now I think I’m through This path I have traveled I am forced to negate Just like the fly that escaped when the frog’s tongue flew Blessings of solitude I once did understate So now I’ll just accept this solitary state A stone fortress around my heart I’m now arming The seasons have flown past and I fear it’s now too late Many are alone; where do you hide, Prince Charming Efforts expended but results do not equate I realize it’s only myself I’ve been harming No longer will I ask, questioning does abate Many are alone; where do you hide, Prince Charming
