Once Upon A December

As the snow fell that cold December night,
She sat up in bed, thinking about what was right.
"Is loving him the best thing that I could ever do,
Or is he helping me live the lie with each 'I Love You?'"

A blanket of snow lay on the once green landscape -
She wished that there was an easier way than to escape.
Fate seemed to be playing her and it seemed she'd lose;
Never would she have to the chance to even chose.

The bitter tears slid down her face as she fought the desire to cry.
Empty thoughts went through her head and she could only ask "Why?"
"Why could he do this with no regard to my feelings at all?
He PROMISED me he would catch me whenever I began to fall."

The lies he told her mounted until they out even the truth;
Her innocence had left her very early in her youth.
It's a shame that her fire for his desire became only an ember -
As he slowly broke her heart Once Upon A December.
