Once Upon a Broken Heart

There is a story, sad and true,
It started with an "I love you."
Their love was pure, a great bliss,
Always ending with a sweet kiss.
The end is sad, unlike the start,
Once upon a broken heart.

Unlike most fairytales, they didn't meet at a ball,
But they were the dream couple that had it all.
The young dreamers should have known,
Love would perish before they were grown.
The dream wouldn't last, it soon fell apart,
Once upon a broken heart.

It started small, but only got worse,
Their love now seemed like a curse.
Sweet talks turned into vicious fights,
Romantic days turned to painful nights.
Long lasting love would slowly depart,
Once upon a broken heart.
