Pain for Pain

Heart Around Darkness

As I look at my daughter I wonder

Should I ever share with her the stories of fairytales

You know the ones with the Prince Charming, princess, the magical weddings

I feel those fairytales give a false image of life

But as little girls that grow into adulthood many of us women hold on to that image

It is the heartbreak and the reality that one day that image may be snatched out of our hand

that makes me worried if I should even get her hopes up

Fairy tales show us what love is supposed to feel and look like

No matter what your prince will stay by your side

He will always come and protect you

So we give these standards to little boys along with our heart

Like the books from the moment you catch his eyes

He is supposed to have eyes only for you

But he really has eyes also for Rebecca, Lisa, Kimberly, Tiffany, and maybe John

The prince is always trustworthy

But the man in front of eyes lies as if it's his purpose in life

Then you have the magical wedding that takes place

When you may spend all that money to just get divorced

Let's not forget when you finally start a family with the love of your life

How he’s there for you emotionally and physically

But no he is not there for you and you find out he had three other kids outside the relationship

Fairytales are good when you’re younger, but they can cause damage when you get older

My fairytale dreams have flown out the window and it was heartbreaking watching them fly away

I don't want my daughter to have to deal with pain of her expectations of a fairytale love being shattered

For some they may get that fairytale love, but at times it doesn't happen they way it's told in the books
