No Such Thing as Happy Ending

A 'once upon a time' with no 'happily ever after'

I was no damsel in distress but a prince came my way

He was exactly who I wanted; he knew the right words to say

In my world of black and white, he became the first shade of grey

So I took a leap of faith in belief that he would stay

 

We started talking whenever we're free until it becomes every day

He learned about my tragedies, how I was never fond of clichés

He told me about a place so beautiful but far away

He asked me if he could take me there if it means running away

 

He took me by the hand and like the trees they swayed

As we walk along the corridor where he met me halfway

It was the kind of moment that my mind can easily replay

It was the kind of feeling that I have to keep cache

 

It was a Saturday night when things started to lead astray

The moment of truth has come, the one we tried to delay

Love had taken its moment and now ask for a costly repay

There's a dragon in the entrance that from the beginning we ought to slay

 

He needed to choose from the choices that I lay

He needed to choose what to break, my heart or a rule we should obey

He gave me his decision after thinking for a day

I said if that's what makes him happy then I'll be glad to be betrayed

 

I can't help but wonder if it was all done in play

The prince became somebody I can't even say "Hey"

And though I kept on telling them that I'm finally okay

The magic that I felt for him hasn't changed even today

Loved how you told a whole story in a poem, it's easy to understand and could feel the characters emotions clearly!:) Nice work!:)
