Once Upon A Broken Heart

by aDORKable x3   Feb 21, 2007


Once upon a happier time
A princess longed for a prince to call mine
She looked low and she looked high
Always searching for that special guy

Then one day, a mysterious suitor appeared
He told the princess she had nothing to fear
So she trusted him and let her heart lead the way
He took her by the hand and took her heart away

She had no idea the mistake she was making
Her love was true but he was perfect at faking
He fed her such lies, and she believed every one
He laughed at her expense, he laughed at her fun

The princess was blind to all his lies
She was mystified when she looked in his eyes
He did what he wanted, just as he planned
He took he innocence as he took her hand

Though people tried to tell her, she didn't believe them
How could anyone tell her to leave him
No one knew who he was, or what he was doing there
But the princess didn't mind, she thought he cared

As the nagging got worse, the princess turned a deaf ear
The suitor had told her that she would have nothing to fear
But then, in time, she would learn the truth about him
About where he was going and where he had been

One day he vanished, without a trace
There was nothing left standing in his place
Gone was everything the princess valued most
The suitor appeared to be some sort of ghost

He left her almost as suddenly as he came
She knew nothing other than his name
That's when her fairy tale fantasy fell apart
It was all because it was built on Once Upon A Broken Heart

    lovely... i enjoyed this because it told a story ... the flow is flawless...the last line seems forced... as if you wanted to use the line "once upon a broken heart" however it doesn't make sense... but maybe its just me misunderstanding

    This is just so amazing. It truly got to me. I can relate a lot to it. & It brought tears to my eyes. It was so very powerful & I love the story that you told.

    Then one day, a mysterious suitor appeared
    He told the princess she had nothing to fear
    So she trusted him and let her heart lead the way
    He took her by the hand and took her heart away

    ^ I liked the first two lines.. But I 'm not too fond on the last two lines.. You used 'heart' twice. & 'way' & 'away'. It just seemed to clash for me. It didn't really take away from the poem. But, I noticed it..

    She had no idea the mistake she was making
    Her love was true but he was perfect at faking
    He fed her such lies, and she believed every one
    He laughed at her expense, he laughed at her fun

    The princess was blind to all his lies
    She was mystified when she looked in his eyes
    He did what he wanted, just as he planned
    He took he innocence as he took her hand [the second 'he' I think should be 'her', unless I'm mistaking]

    ^ I loveddddd these two stanzas. They really stood out to me. So powerful & full of emotion. I really loved the line ''He took her innocence as he took her hand.. Wow, so strong! & great imagery.

    Though people tried to tell her, she didn't believe them
    How could anyone tell her to leave him
    No one knew who he was, or what he was doing there
    But the princess didn't mind, she thought he cared

    ^ I can't even begin to explain how much tears this brought to my eyes. I can relate to this so well, it's unbelievable. I loved it..

    And that's when her fairy tale fantasy apart
    And it was all because it was built on Once Upon A Broken Heart

    ^ I really like these two last lines.. But the first line, I think after fantasy should be 'fell'.

    Absolutely amazing, Hun.
