wonderfully unhappy

I see those cheerful eyes
Bright and sparkling
Moist and tender
Weary and heartbreaking

Look at that winsome smile
Sweet and inviting
As a rainbow arches in the sky
Beautifully despairing

She goes around laughing
Playful and cheery
But in this mirror of truth
I see her…
Perfectly dreary

chapter 1: my prince uncharming


i have always dreamt of a happily ever after
The prince that will hold me in his arms.
My knight in shining armor.

As I stare at his beautiful face
As he walks closer towards me
Reaching out and gently holding my face
As he kisses my lips gently

I could hear the music fading
As the scene darkens and says ‘the end’
Isn’t that how it always is?
Forever and ever in happiness we’ll spend.

But as I lay in my bed,
Allowing my pillow to share in my tears
Seeing the path that lies before me
That path I have come to fear

I know that in a few minutes
I shall hear you say goodbye
To take one last look
At the love that now came to die

Where is happy in my happily ever after?
Why am I all alone in this wretched corner?

A broken promise I held on to
A shattered future with you.
