Where is my happily ever after?
My golden dress, my clear glass slippers
A thousand miles I used to run just to hear your laughter
All I have now is your jacket with a broken zipper

What happened to the day you’d make me your queen?
We would buy a castle filled with expensive things
Till we faced unfortunate events that were unseen
Neither of us knew what terrible ending it would bring

Why has my heart forsaken me?
Your lies were like sweet melody
Every word engulfed me like a rampant sea
I am in too deep

My golden dress is ragged and torn
The castle now set ablaze
Lay me down and let me mourn
Dreams are shattered and betrayed

My fairytale is now broken and you are the one to blame
As I watch my happy ever after go up in flames

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
