Once upon a time in a long ago place
When blood ran like rivers and tears fell like rain
A girl met a very special boy
At a time when she thought the world was insane
The words they spoke were nothing more than that
Letters on a screen, secretly exchanged
Hiding them from the worlds cruelties
In particular, two women cruel and deranged
Their hearts began to crumble with longing
A forbidden touch that they'd dream of each night
Lying in their beds, smiling at within their tears
Awake, squeezing their pillows tight
Their love became their demise
One night they finally held each other
Feeling the warmth, and the other's beating heart
From that point on they longed to be with one another
Then the day that stained their hearts
When someone found out, in the worst kind of way
She lied though her teeth again and again
But in the end there was nothing to say
Night after night she stayed awake
Unable to fight off the demons that haunted her emptiness
She remembered how much he loved her
As her tears she tried to suppress
Days faded into weeks, and weeks blended to months
Her love and pain washed away the smile on her face
And numbness consumed her soul
Her previous self there was not a trace
She convinced herself she didn't love him
Repeating it day after day
Until she found another man
That she thought had whisked her heart away
As the years peel by
The two forget about their past
They meet other people, live separate lives
Knowing what they had wasn't real, it could never last
But at night, when the silence of the world consumes
Each found the other in thought
Remembering the love that they had once shared
Trying to keep it, how they diligently fought
Streams of tears turn to a soft smile on my face
As I remember your touch that night
Everything was so perfect
So right
Before the words turn to ash
In this world of pain and anguish
I want to let you know of something
A wish
Every night I hug my pillow tight
And I pray that one day I'll be able to say
How much I want to be together
Just for one more day
We will never have our kids
We will never have our house
We will never have our lives together
We will never be each other's spouse
But I pray that in this land
Of once upon a time
That you'll always remember my words
In this over sized rhyme
