Story of My Life

Story of my life
As he walked in the room it lit up
He made it seem like time stopped 
He was like the sun on a cloudy day
The room went dead silent 
When he spoke his voice boomed                                                                                         
He spoke and everyone listened 
He was the world to me
It was ALMOST love at first sight 
Like Cinderella descending the staircase
He had me seeing stars                                                                                                          
Then boom I fell to my doom
He took what I had left of me 
He kept my heart in an iron prison 
With no way to escape 
In its impossible captivity                                                                                                         
Many useless ways to escape 
My heart cried out in pain
With sorrow and grief evident 
I could have died of heartbreak 
My heart useless to fight anymore                                                                                           
Is there any escape?
