It was only a dream

It was only a dream

Long ago, a dream was made
About a girl who found love that would never fade.

Wishes of a fairytale, like Cinderella's big night
A hard cruel lesson in the world's bitter trite.

Repetition is all she has seen
Trusting in love, given by the kaniving and keen.

Anger is one thing, but hatred's not her
Nothing but kindness and compassion for sure.

You get what you give is how she was taught
She gave all she had when true love was sought.

Learned her lesson, but it took so long
Trust in no one and you'll never go wrong.

Love to some is only a game
If they knew what they had, they would only feel shame.

A life of happiness with no lies or deceit
With a warm hearted girl the world was not ready to meet.

She might carry a smile, but sadness does flow
A failure to her own heart, and the dream she let go.

Forever and ever, to have and to hold
So much for a storybook ending, the dream is too old.

I'm that girl now and with no regret
I can honestly say, my dream I wish to forget.

No more sadness and no more tears
I've had an interesting life during these years.

Some good times and bad, but all just the same
My life has been waisted with no love to claim.

It's bitter and ugly, if you only knew
How I tried so hard to make my dream come true.

I lay awake wondering what I did wrong
Am I not deserving enough, or in this world do I even belong.

The simplest of things are all I've craved
The love of another, and my dream would be saved.

Just forget it all, it not meant to be
It was all a silly little dream created by me.

My mind ran wild with visions of hope
So I tethered my heart, and I hold the rope.

Never again, prince charming's not real
I'm no princess, and hope for my dream I must not feel.

It's hard in a way, but it's for the best
If I can leave it at that, I'll truly feel blessed.
