Dismay

Once upon a time
But not so long ago
Was a pretty fair princess
Yet filled full of woe

She was blind to reality
And lived in a dream
She loved her man deeply
But all was not as it seemed

One day he betrayed her
Threw her out to the wolves
These wolves she had loved
But instead ripped her to shreds

She yearned for her man
And her family she loved
They all turned their backs
She was not more than dead

Then one day she found new hope
She trusted and believed
She believed she could live
It wasn’t as bad as it was in her head

But to her dismay
True love and hope didn’t really exist
Only pain, loss and betrayal
What is the real point to actually live?

So on this day of July 14th
Be it 0319 in the morning and nothing left to give
She will set out to find
The only real gift

The water is calling
Its chill and true relief
She is unable to please
She needs its final release

To those she had loved
To those who may love her back
I am sorry, I am guilty
Of this one final act
