My Fairytale

Big bad wolves and wicked witches

No prince to be found

Tried, but never kissed the frog

That would bring love around

Tempted by forbidden fruit

And lured into the dark

So many times I chose the path

That led to a broken heart

Spent millions at the wishing well

Caused twinkling stars to dim

I lost my faith in pixie dust

My ever after, grim

Wandering through black and white

My life was dull and gray

Hints of color taunted me

But never came my way

Just when I had given up

My quest to find true love

Somewhere on the horizon

Shone a light from high above

Then this knight in shining armor

He came riding into view

Just like a fairy godmother

Had made my dream come true

There he stood before me

Wounded, I could see

He just smiled and said

That he'd come here to rescue me

A dragon slayer scarred

By all the battles of the past

Had fought so long and hard

To come and save my heart at last

I forgot to breathe

I was entranced by every word

This spell that he had placed on me

The sweetest ever heard

I'd never felt such magic

I'd never felt such bliss

My soul had been awakened

By the power of a kiss

But would he leave at midnight?

Or would we dance till dawn?

If I closed my eyes, I wondered

Would my handsome prince be gone?

"No, this one is a keeper"

"This one is the one"

My conscience whispered to me

That my life had just begun

I took his hand and I knew

There was no way to deny

The ending to my fairytale

Had waited for this guy

Then we rode home to his castle

So that he could marry me

And my own ever after

I could now live happily
