A Fairytale

Once upon a time
In a kingdom far away
There stood a dark haired girl
Begging you to stay
Though she was no princess
Though she was no prize
She loved you very dearly
You were perfect in her eyes
You were her single reason
Her only living joy
She breathed your life and loved it
Such a charming little boy
Until one day it clouded
Dark and gray and bad
And you said it’s not enough
Though she’d given all she had
You dropped her hand and turned
Left that very day
She was lost in mourning
But you had found your way
Happy with another
Holding her so tight
She was who you woke with
And slept with every night
She couldn't understand it
Not this gentle maid
It was her you loved
And with whom you had laid
Nothing to be done
She could not bear to see
Your eternal happiness
And how perfect it would be
So she packed her things and fled
Into the deep dark night
Running from the world
Chased out by the light
Don’t know how far she traveled
She only knew that she must run
Find a place not haunted
Where she could feel the sun
Somewhere on her journey
When she could not sleep
Sometimes she would hurt herself
Sometimes she would weep
But she always had to wonder
Just why you had gone
Why you had to leave her
Hurting and alone
How could you love another?
Throw it all away?
Then she had to realize
You never would have stayed
Never running fast enough
Hiding from herself
To take away the memory
Her heart up on your shelf
And when at last she understood
You were not her fate
All the love she bore for you
Slowly turned to hate
No one did she see
For she had gone to hide
So the only one to hate
Was the one inside
She took the hate and nursed it
Shaped and took new form
Until she grew so cold inside
Ugly and deformed
Hopelessly she wandered
Swallowed up by sorrow
For her face was not her own
And her soul she had to borrow
When finally she fell
This girl of lonely birth
She closed her eyes and made a wish
To fall right off the earth
Alas, she found out later
Staring at the wind
It was not her time to go ahead
Her story not to end
So then she started walking
Not counting off the days
Just learning who she was
Looking for her way
She wanted to go home
But didn’t leave so soon
She found she liked to wax and wane
Like the fully open moon
To dance out in the meadows
Embrace the cool dark night
To bathe in flawless beauty
Of the crystal starlight
Looking in the water
Her hair did float like lace
She found herself staring back
Saw her fragile grace
She began to comprehend
Stopping with soft wonder
That you no longer held her there
Your spell no longer under
She searched so deep within her heart
Looking for your place
But you no longer forced yourself
She couldn’t see your face
When at last she stopped to rest
She had herself to show
She knew that she would be ok
She had to let you go
Her path was firm beneath her feet
Saw with rising dawn
And as the sun began to shine
She finally made it home
So now she sits there singing
Thanking those above
For showing her after all
She knew how to love
She has a wild free heart
She has a hard won faith
She laces through the night
Peaceful like a wraith
All she does is wait for him
Looking for the day
When her soul finds its twin
Lost along the way
She knows he’s out there somewhere
She knows that time will tell
After all, she can still smile
This is a fairytale
He will save her from herself
Help her find her laughter
And she will love and get to live
Happily ever after

Impressive! Portions of this sound like my life and the lives of so many others I have met along the way. I even thought that you were looking into my soul tonight. I found mine (Soul mate) thank God!
Glory is to God.
I Love it!

Walt Disney could'nt have written a more beautiful peice of poetry. this is absolutely
devine. I realy like your writting as well as your style of presentation. By the way don't
worry about people liking it or not, if you touched one persons heart by it that's worth more than ten crituques. You've certainly touched mine.

My goodness, this was beautiful. What a wonderful story.
And well depicted in this perfectly romantic piece. Even though
there was a sadness to it, it was wonderfully uplifting at the end.
Precious work here, EG. Just lovely.

A wonderful and sweeping write. A very sad at times, but full of hope fairy tale. I love how you fairy tale ended with hope and not a definite. I think it is best for the reader to come up with an ending on his/her own. You are getting better and better with each work, and you were already in the upper echelon.
Way To Go! BEAUTIFUL!!!
