A Tale of Woe

I was up at 6 this morning after four hours sleep because this woke my lazy bum up. Isn't that great?

I'll tell you a tale

As it was told to me

By my mother without fail

Like her mother told she.

So come sit by my fire

And I'll start to spin

This tale of a liar

And one without sin.

Their meeting was chance

As most meetings are

On a night when dance

Was the only true star.

The one without sin,

Now, she was a doll

And not ever again

Has there been another at all.

She moved like a dream

All beauty and grace

But it never did seem

To match the happiness in her face.

That liar, he saw

What he desired more

Than any broken law

Or the chance to soar.

So, he used his skills

And all his tricks

To conquer her will

And become her fix.

And that poor girl

Fell without thought

For the liar that could twirl

Her 'round with his art.

He took everything

She was willing to give

From her wish to sing

To her will to live.

Then one day he was gone

After he had it all

And she found just how long

She had to fall.

The one without sin

Was truly in hell

And not ever again

Has one as far fell.

She was lost and alone

And knew not but strife

Soon she fell with a moan

And took her own life.

Now, children, I pray

That you take heed

Of her folly and stay

Far from her deed.

Don't fall for the lies

Of a charming face.

Find the truth that hides

But is worth the chase.

Don't you hate that when you wake up with a great idea and it's either get up with little sleep and write it down or totally forget it by morning? Wonderful write yet again!!
