Prince Charming

sometimes some people just break your heart
and we wonder why when everyone so desperately wants to be loved
why is love so hard to find?
maybe because there is just one
or maybe it has something to do with the moon and finding someone
that really lets you be you
I don't know but it's true
I wanted to be loved
just loved by you

I've been played so many times
sometimes,
most times
it's been by my own confused mind
I've missed loved because I didn't believe it was real
or because I held on to
an old carpet bag
afraid of how something new would feel
for whatever the reason we convince ourselves to settle for less
that was me, until I realized that..

sometimes some people just hurt you
sometimes some people just get used and
tossed around in
a mess that wasn't ever meant for me
and the wise sometimes avoid it
but most of us aren't so lucky that
we come through this unbruised
life is made up of

the user and the used

and all I wanted all this time
was the story book tail on a love line
the movie with the happy ending
and a life that was sure

surly gonna work out
a little different than yours
but what did I have for myself?
but a fairy-tale world?

but what did I have for myself?
but a fairy-tail world?

Ahhh the Cinderella Syndrome were prince charming rescues the girl. Those damn movies just aren't real life. This is a superb poem with a lot of honesty and heart and all the charm of a fairy tale story. Excellent!

you are such a tender heart. your writing is so attractive with your vulnerability meaning your willingness to tell your stories.

this one tells the story of most of us. we try and try to be happy but often find life is more about trial and survival than it is about comfort and joy.

there is timeless quality in your writing. we could read it a hundred years from now and it would be valid.

all the best mallory
