Shattered Rose

   As a young girl she dreamed about
Marrying a Prince in a fairytale life
And being a Princess and being so
Happy just being the Princess wife

As she grew, she learned the realities
Of life but a girl can still dream
So she would hide away in her room
And imagine lying next to a crystal blue stream

She would be there next to her Prince
On a bright Sunny day
Laughing as they enjoyed their time
Watching the dog and butterflies play

Time passed and love would come and go
The mirror would show she was older
Her heart never felt that kind of love
So it just grew so much colder

Her perception of life was false
She couldn’t handle reality
She withered her life away
Waiting for her fantasy

She lived in the comfort of her room
With the Moon & Stars and shadows
She died alone with her heart in pieces
On the floor like a Shattered Rose
