Wishing in Vain
by Holly H DunneI remember the day i realised I'd made a mistake,
The realisation dawning on me like a bitter sunrise,
Iluminating harshly what had been hidden from me for 13 moons
And upon this revelation I knew I had to tell you,
Foolishly beleiving you would still be waiting with open arms
And we could have our happily ever after
But Time had shown you sunsets I could never be a part of,
So I had to watch you mount your white horse and ride off
Leaving me alone to live through this broken fairytale
Where there is no glue to fix my self inflicted broken heart,
Its jagged pieces cut into me, restricting every breath i take
Like the poison apple lodged in Snow White's throat
And so I'm still waiting and wishing that someday, someplace, somehow
A clock will chime midnight and break this cursed spell i cast
So my heart can be freed from your unknowing grasp, to find another Prince.

| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 11/17/05 at 08:13 PM Holly, your words hold a tragic beauty, within them are the seeds for rebirth and renewal. In my experience, I found that even pain and sadness can (unknowingly) hold some excitement for letting go of the old and embarking on a new and maybe more beautiful adventure. Vulnerability is never an easy place to be.
