If only...

I was born in the wrong era.

Though I wear pants,

I want to dress like Cinderella.

I want my corset to dig into my skin,

And my breasts to pop.

Is my life anything like that?

I must tell you...of course not!

I want my lover to feed me fruit,

And touch me as if I am made of gold.

Men nowadays are nothing like that.

They are too damn bold... or old!

I want to receive love letters

And go on walks on the park.

I want to go to fancy balls

And criticize cheap art.

I was born in the wrong era.

And though I talk too much

I want a man to kiss me before I start.

If only...

This poem made me really happy... because i do share such feelings and i am glad that put those in such beautiful words and touched every corner of a girl's mind when she thinks about jumping into a fairytale. Pretty work!

This poem was a great read. If and only are fine alone, but once those words are put together, it can mean death.

Ah, the saddest two words in the English language - 'If only'.
Very nicely done
