I Want
The Fairy Tale
God gave me a heart to love with.
God gave me emotions to feel.
God give me a man to love me.
I want the fairy tale!
As a young girl we were taught to believe
That our Price Charming is real.
We read Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White,
And that love is what we want to feel.
To find our Price Charming our journey begins
With a positive outlook on life.
But heartbreak and lies soon enter in
As men cause nothing but strife.
Heartbreak times three is my record now
As back down in the valley I go.
Hey wasn't three supposed to be charm?
I guess that just isn't so.
Prince Charming number one I met as a teen
and our years together were twelve in all.
Beatings and cussings and other women too
Lead to our spiral downfall.
Twelve harsh years together
and it came to shatter my dream.
A Prince Charming did I find with man Number One?
In reality it just did not seem.
A few little pitstops I made on my way
To finding Prince Charming number two.
With each one I learned a few lessons
Battle scars without much ado.
Prince Charming #2 swept me off my feet.
The promise of a bright, loving future lie in wait.
A whirlwind romance, as some might say,
He broke down the walls and opened the gate.
The Fairy Tale life with a wonderful man.
I loved him so much, a family were we.
He and his boys and myself and my four,
I cried when he proposed, for I knew it couldn't
be.
You see my fairy tale turned sour
As the days drifted by
Conflicts between our children
Too painful to try.
My heart was broken and my spirt was crushed.
For the love was still there when we said our goodbyes.
His very last words were "I love you",
I walked away......and I cried.
Monumental depression and an unwillingness to live,
Wanting only to have my love to hold.
Alone with those haunting....parting words,
Nothingness, despair, and cold.
A long struggle back to find number Three.
I swore I would never love again.
But a dear, dear friend introduced us,
And that's how the romance began.
Neither looking to fall in love.
A friend, a companion we seek.
But, the friendship and passion lit a fire within,
And the flames rose to the ultimate peak.
He was my bestfriend and my lover
And my world soon was complete.
But forever found an ending,
A new love with which I couldn't compete.
My heart and my soul found the World Wide Web
And this little country girl was in over her head.
I joined in his pasttime and I saw the all the joy,
But he wouldn't share his brand new toy.
You see I soon found some things I should not
Other women, their pictures,....this couldn't be.
This couldn't happen,
Not to ME!!!!!
Confrontation, accusation, tears, and pain,
This wasn't happening to ME!!!!
Conflict, betrayal, and silence.
Resolution was just not to be.
My world once again came crumbling down.
The pits of hell I see.
For Prince Charming Three was my heart and my soulmate.
A love that was never to be.
Two long years of giving and giving
And having his love in return.
I love him. I need him. That won't change.
The passion will always burn.
I'm struggling to cope with the emptiness I feel,
A death is what has occured.
My dream of finding my Prince Charming is gone.
And to that path never again to be lured.
So when you here "I want the Fairy Tale"
Think of me and remember my story.
For it brought into existance a different person today,
And the Runaway Bride will reign in her glory.
So I will restate my dream
For all to see.
My childhood dream
Just cannot be.
God gave me a heart to love my family with.
God take away the emotions that hurt me.
God keep that man to love me.
For my dream of Prince Charming
Could never be.
I no longer believe in Fairy
Tales!!!
