True Love's Kiss

What do YOU think it means?

We like to look at it directly
We like to see it for what it is
A pretty picture of everlasting love, like from above
But do we view this allegory correctly?
Or is there something to it that we all miss?

Could it mean a place of darkness
A place that's similar to death?
A place we've all seen before, where redemption can restore
And break a heart's hardness
Wake up and take life's first breath.

In fairy tales there's a princess in a sleep-like death
And a prince fighting evil to win her true love
A symbol that's not always sexual, but still perpetual
That after the kiss, she awakes, takes her first breath
And from her grave rises like a dove.

Guess what?

So can a woman who has been scorned
So can a parent who buried their child
A child who buried their parents, living in life's darkest moments
So can a man who has mourned
A love from which left him beguiled.

So can a child who has been abused
A friend who's heart has been burned
True loves kiss, does not miss
Those who were wrongly accused
And spent time in jail they never earned.

You can wake up from your sleep-like death
If only you'd let faith be your eyes
Your Prince of peace is here, my dear
He has defeated the ultimate threat
Your true loves kiss has come! He say's, "ARISE!"

Arise from your ashes, leave them be
Embrace this brand new chapter
Your heart's been cleaned, your soul's redeemed
Your life is set free
Go meet your happily ever after.

Thank you for the review! It really means a lot. My intention was to write an inspiring piece. It's okay if it made you cry. As long as it inspired you in some way.
