Happy ending... not
Pain a figment of the mind
Love an illusion of a kind
The game we play,
because we hope and dream.
Fairy tales always end,
with happily ever after
Happy endings don't exist
But, bitter agony does
Shall I read the list
of all the misery?
The list never ends.
But, defeat is not admited
because life is given to love
when you believe in happy endings

Hiddy ho there good neighbor, Alice!
A few mispells in the last verse, but very open and raw. I see it expanding, I hope.

Alice
you have put across your perception of love in a good way...
how about a wee bit of change as in
Happy endings don't exist
But, bitter agony does
Shall I read the list
of all the misery?
(of the painful hurts)
