The Day Romance Died Cinderella in disgrace. Young Prince Charming hides his face. She wipes her many, many tears. Regret is what he truly fears. When first they met, desire born, Two as one, could not be torn. This secret love affair, would know, The pain, they'd find, would not let go. Their favorite places, hideaways, Spending many hours, days. While servants kept a watchful eye For nosey gossip or common spy. Truth and passion, now bitter foes. Whispers, rumors and gossip flows. A distant rumble, the enemy Breaks through the lines, the end they see. Through inquisition, brought to bear, Upon the two all rise and stare. The consequence announced to all; From the kingdom, both shall fall. Alone at last, the magic gone. Like those before, the story�s one. The grief to much for them to bear, Go each their own, they know not where. Douglas Fletcher 6/16/2001 |
