Pools of sorrow, waves of joy, are drifting through my open mind

Come here boy, sit down with me.
let me tell you a little story.
once upon a time, there was a girl;
one without a worry in the world.
a boy came into her life, caught her by surprise.
cranked up the charm and wore a disguise.
damn, that smile he wore... so sweet.
and the words he said to make her feel complete.
never would have guessed the pain he would cause.
...his performance deserves a roundof applause.
he broke her heart (oh, how predictable).
then just left. so willing and able.
he dashed her dreams; left a tiny bit of hope.
enough to get by. enough to cope.
now she just sits and cries her tears,
waiting for the day he reappears.
there is no happy ending.
and no, i'm not pretending.
this wasn't some everyday fairytale.
