If Only

Okay, this one is a little different from the others.  This one is a song actually, rather than a poem, by definition.  I wrote this my junior year after a very amateur attempt at a high school romance. Obviously, I was a little bitter.  I don't really still believe the words I wrote, but hey, it's good to go back sometimes and see how much you've grown since you last wrote something, right?  My favorite part of this song was the anaolgy, along with how relatable the song is.  I think.  Anyway! Read it :) please :) haha.

With every fairytale ending

come the words “happily ever after”

And with a kiss as they ride away

their love is sealed forever

If only life were more like fairytales

where the prince is always there

Instead of boys who break your heart

and leave it lying on the ground

Dragons that can’t be slain

And fathers who aren’t kings

Girls that can’t be princesses

is the fairytale I’m living in

Castles come in two room apartments

fairy godmothers don’t exist

And when the shoe finally fits

the price is far too high

If only life were more like fairytales

where happy endings never end

and dreams really do come true

and the prince is there waiting

just for you

My story may not be a happy ending

but it's all too common around here

I wait for my happily ever after,

for the prince to sweep me off my feet

someday
