cautioned tale

She's the girl that you see in the movies The girl you can't handle seeing cry on screen, she'll give her coat in the winter, and her umbrella in spring. She'll give you a sense of belonging ,and those who use Her give her hell and grief. Her heart came at no cost, but everyday now she keeps her fingers crossed. She'd hoped to God there's somebody out there, someone who cares They'll say little girl that's a child's prayer, she hides away from the dating scene, believing wedding bells aren't foreseen.This isn't real , this is a cautioned tale. Not to get caught up in fairy tales. A hopeless romantic wanting that Hollywood romance, feeling like her happy ending is up to chance, she'll show up to parties in a blue dress waiting for her last dance but no one ever pays her that kindness. Lost in a sea of colors and sounds she'd fall to her knees like confetti to the ground. the pearls of a necklace scattered all around. The mascara streams down her face and there's no longer glitter on her gown. It's just a dream she wants to wake up from it now. -ml
