I loved you, more than you’ll ever know.<\/p>\n
foolish girl, how could you fall for him<\/p>\n
didn’t history repeat itself for you enough<\/p>\n
didn’t you know this journey would be harder<\/p>\n
yet you wanted to run along that river of trepidation<\/p>\n
anyway<\/p>\n
at any rate<\/p>\n
gathering sticks and stones, clutching you heart<\/p>\n
and breastbone wondering if he’d do right by you<\/p>\n
because in all these years, has anyone but you<\/p>\n
done right by you, oh my foolish girl<\/p>\n
you want to bring fantasies into a cruel harsh world<\/p>\n
maybe in the next lifetime you’ll kiss frogs<\/p>\n
and won’t get warts, maybe there will be princes<\/p>\n
and castles and hearts won’t get hurt by<\/p>\n
step-sisters and step-mothers who mean you no harm<\/p>\n
what does that translate into in this day and age<\/p>\n
locked up hearts like caged animals and<\/p>\n
no glass slipper seems to fit you right<\/p>\n
but you still threw caution to the wind<\/p>\n
and went all in for an amazing fight<\/p>\n
love is a losing game<\/p>\n
and sadly that<\/p>\n
foolish girl lost her life \u00a0loving the wrong man<\/p>\n
her tombstone read<\/p>\n
I loved you, much more\u00a0than you’ll ever know<\/p>\n
