where creative minds can interact
Believe In Love
A jaded heart
One that's been torn apart
Too many times to count
For the tears shed, there's no known amount
A wall built sky high
To keep out every lie
Love is people's foolish notions
Why bother going through the motions
You meet someone
They promise you the stars, the moon, the sun
Things seem to go well for awhile
They even convince you to walk down the aisle
Then with a mighty blow
Their true colors show
Bound now by a piece of paper and a ring
Doesn't it now seem like such a silly thing?
Fighting day and night
Kids hear you from somewhere out of sight
Lawyers, battles, ugly times
Read this and heed these rhymes
Don't give your heart away
For in the end, you'll pay
Both figuratively and from your wallet
See your heart wandering, go and get it
And if you believe I meant any of this
Then you know nothing of my true feelings on wedded bliss
It can end badly, it's true
But that's up to the both of you
So many rush into things
Not knowing what the future brings
Led by hormones raging
Not knowing the wars their hearts are waging
Others settle for they feel it's the best they can do
Not believing in themselves enough or in you
Fearing spending a lifetime alone
Not having someone to call their own
Some say they're doing it for the kids
But in the end, the parents fight and take bids
So many do it for the wrong reason
Forgetting the true meaning of the season
I have seen it work out
My happy ending exists, of that there's no doubt
I was once that girl with a jaded heart
The one who was so torn apart
But when I let love in
I saw a new life for me begin
Love can be true and last a lifetime
When nurtured forever, not just in its prime
I say this to all who are angry and blue
Who have given up on saying "I do."
Love is not a waste of time, it is real
Don't shut your heart down, let it feel
Sometimes we must go down broken roads
Before we find our prince or princess, we must kiss a few toads
Don't give up, don't lock your heart away
Let it find the love that is real, the one that will stay

Perfect, and the Princess can heal the wounded child! I love poetry and admire those who speak it prolifically :-)

Yes, and as was said in the movie, Little Princesses....every girl is a princess. <3

Oh but the princess, of course. ;) In my case, my prince rode up in a Pontiac Vibe, not a white steed. Instead of wearing shining armor, he dons a Brewers tee-shirt and jeans. But he does hold open doors, take my hand as we walk down the street, touch my cheek with gentility, knows how to tolerate my mood swings, loves me for who I am, is ever patient, and not just my love, but my best friend. After all I'd been through, I was skeptical and jaded. I'd seen "true love" win out, but it just didn't seem to be in the cards for me. And when I'd given up and stopped looking, focusing instead on other things....he appeared. I truly believe it's possible for anyone with an open heart and mind to find their own happily ever after. <3

Nicely written and to me speaks to the dueling archetypes of the wounded child and the Princess; which one will win?
