A Lesson Learned

A Lesson Learned

There was once a a time,

When I wanted to hold your hand, 

And dance with you in the rain,

Amidst curious eyes.

There was once a time,

When everything seemed like a fairy tale,

You were my prince charming in a white horse,

And I thought I was the reason behind your existence.

I can still smell your scent

Everytime I think of you

And I can still feel you smile

But now I know

It's not for me.

For I don't glitter with wealth and fame,

And I don't expose skin like the ones you adore,

I cannot nag like a little kid

And protest everything you say with a sluty smile

(For some reason, it turns you on!)

You made me realize that I am nothing,

You made me realize the difference between rich and poor,

The long gulf between the princess and her maid,

And how unimportant talent, skill and a good heart is 

When it comes to love.

You have made me realize how insignificant I am

I have learned my lesson, trust me

And I will never walk your again.

Author's Note

not about me...just something that came up in my head...what do you think?

"You have made me realize how insignificant I am
I have learned my lesson, trust me"

perhaps my favorite line would be, "The long gulf between the princess and her maid" it is a fantastic example. The poem painted a lovely image, although I hoped to see that the speaker of the poem would become a strong independent woman rather than feeling small and insignificant. Great job!
