No Fairytale
July 23, 2010
Life’s no fairytale
Not even close
But when I close my eyes
I see things differently
Reality disappears
And fantasy becomes real
Everything around me
Seems so perfect
But when I go to touch it
It goes up in smoke
In a fairytale
Love is almost magic
If love is real than why does the magic fade away
When I open my eyes
Is it possible that this love
Was never real
Just another fantasy
Oh why can’t I see the light
There’s no fairytale
Not this time
Life and people come and go
Some meant to stay
And others blow away
Lost in this broken fairytale,
Waiting for a reason to stay
Maybe it’s time to go
And leave this hollow place
Someday magic will be real,
And fairytales will come true
