there once a bittersweet girl
she was fragile like a porcelain doll
and had a hopeful heart, unbroken yet
she fell in love with a boy
dark and stormy on the inside,
shattered more than a few times
their story is anything but a fairy tale
tumultuous from start to end
taking place a long, long time ago
this girl was not the nicest
not the happiest
or the easiest to please
but with him she was
a star, a summer breeze, a
soul truly at ease
his gloomy blue clouds
began to follow her around
stifling her golden glow
it wasn’t long before this
sad boy
got bored of his lovely doll
soon he found a new toy
something fun to entertain
and this new dolly quickly fell right into his trap
he whispered to his secret toy
sweet nothings all night long
although she knew he wasn’t hers all along
his golden girl never heard
a thing
her ignorance was simply bliss
his pretty new toy made him so happy
he couldn’t bear to part ways, so with her
he spent his sleepy nights, with his doll his days
he told her she was special,
his favorite little princess,
the secret was now far too much to hide
rumors only grow
so soon enough the word got round
and our stormy boy was caught
the porcelain doll
was shattered
from the inside out
but time went fast
the cracks were sealed
and the golden girl moved on
the same cannot be said
of the boy
who broke her heart
he loves her still
and lives alone
ashamed of what he’s done
he left his toys
and the years blew past
yet he never loved again
based on a true story
