Unfinished Fairy Tale

I just ate chicken pizza
with my knight in shining armor.
In love were we--a fairy tale,
strolling down the happiness trail.
This knight, however,
kept hidden, in his armor,
all the symbols of love and heart
with which, he would never part.
And so, this fairy tale goes,
mostly ghosts and shadows, nothing
but crumbs, really, left for me
(First and second wife, respectively).
My Love for YouWill Remain Strong and Alive--
Unfinished Fairy Tale until the Day I Die
(Self-love, my urgency to say goodbye).
I deserve it all from love,
not just sloppy seconds, a piece.
True meaning of Meant to Be--
the whole fairy tale, all but him to see.
Not a whisper from a ghost,
nor a small spot in a shadow,
if I have not all of his heart, forever and ever--destiny--apart.
Oh, your heart, and your love,
all that you have and are,
devoted to me (and I, you),
Unfinished fairy tale, now overdue.
Hello New Chapter, New Book, New Day!
Good-Bye Sweet Knight
Who Refused His Love to Send
(Another Love Will Find Me).
The (unhappy) End.
