Prince Charming (Lost his way)

by Jenni Marie   Nov 20, 2012


I grew up beliving in Prince Charming, that love would be my cure
Pinning hopes on fairytales, that I'd be captivated by its allure
Only that isn't the case it seems, at least not any more
All of those hopes and dreams became something to abhor
Twisted and tossed my heart into its own special blender
'O, did you never hear my soft whispered surrender?
Love once so elegant, so beautiful, it's now in remission
Never thought for your love I'd end up in competition

Ironic how I used to laugh and frown at all of those lost love cliches
Yet here I sit, eyes closed and weeping in such dismay
For the towers I successfully built around this heart of mine
Are cascading down, and in hurt and tears I'm now confined
Intelligent enough to know that these feelings will pass eventually
Yet still wishing for when we used to work together so sensually
And now I recall why I refuse to give into love and lust
Because doing so, will always require for me to trust

    I actually don't believe in prince charming, though, I do believe in love. It's one of those things that are a mystery and well, it saddens me when relationships that I thought were "meant to be" end all of the sudden.

    I also think love shouldn't be a competition but it actually is. We end up competing and someone hS to win. But I dislike so much, when someone comes all of the sudden in a relationship when they know the couple has a beautiful relationship and gets in between and even more sad is that the relationship falls.

    I enjoy your choice of words, and even more the perfect job with rhymes. They sound so smooth. Not force at all, and to accomplish that with a long piece is impressive.

    Sorry about prince charming.. I guess I prefer not a prince.. Because a price is usually idolize by many. :(
