Once Upon A Time

You know how everyone says ‘Once upon a time’?
And how every poem is a stupid rhyme?
But do you know that I think of that ‘Once upon a time’?
And I write some stupid rhymes.
I always think how it would be if I found the one.
The one who, to me, would be everything under the sun?
Then, I remember that I had all that at one time.
Where I was so in love I’d rhyme?
But in fairy tales, they never tell you the real side.
They make you believe that they always love till they die.
But that’s the side they want you to hear.
They never show the times when she sheds a tear.
Never in life does a love go the right way.
And if you believe that, then you’ll eventually pay.
I used to believe in true love and fairy tales.
But my life turned to hell.
I had a fairytale once, and you were by my side.
But that was once upon a time.
