Once Upon, Never To Become...

by Chris Sheffler - Aries

I once believed in fairy tales, 
for I felt that I lived in one,
where everything is happy in the end,
and my story was almost done...

I prayed that things would change,
but alas, they were never to be,
for the book has closed and I'm alone,
like a sailess boat that's lost at sea...

The night and day combine once more,
as the sun sets in the eastern skies,
and it's only now that I ask myself,
What are the truths, and which are lies?

Blured is the past that never truly was,
and lost is my dreams that never would become,
reality is just a haze in the falling, frigid rain,
for on this day, my heart will soon turn numb...

I once believed in fairy tales,
for I felt that I lived in one,
but now I know that it's untrue,
by the setting of the autumn sun...
