2513

I was never one

to believe in fairy tales

I never fell for

happily ever after

I could never be

prince charming.

the princess never

awoke to my kiss

As time went on,

I felt like the troll

under the bridge;

convinced myself I was

the big bad wolf

at the door

Life made me the hunchback,

made me as outcast as that

Phantom of the opera

then she came along,

and tempted me,

sang for me,

pulled off the mask,

made me see

something else in the mirror

Life has turned my heart to stone

betrayal has shoved

a sword through my heart,

is she the one

to pull it out?

I was never the knight

clad in shining armor

did not always do what was right

I was lost as the hero

in the white hat

riding off into the sunset;

too busy chasing windmills

in the distance

happier to embrace the night

I could hide the tears

disguise the fears

then she came along

made me see something worthy

in the mirror

life had turned me heart to stone

Betrayal has pierced my heart

with a sword

is she the one

to pull it out?

so mirror, mirror

is she the one for me?
