Waiting for my prince to come.

 

Waiting here for my prince to come,

he’ll sweep me off my feet.

We’ll ride off into the sunset,

my new fate I will meet

 

Here he comes oh, my dream come true!

He’s everything I want.

Time slips by, time opens my eyes,

the realities so blunt!

 

I waited for him for oh, so long,

living in fantasy!

Never worked on me not even once,

just dreams of ecstasy.

 

So here I am alone again,

caught up in misery!

Now what I’ve learned to do this time,

is take some time for me.

 

I’ve learned to laugh and love myself,

to be the best, I can.

I’ve learned that I can be happy now,

it was found in me, not a man.

 

~Melody

 

Author's Note

The joy of a healthy relationship is one I would never want to be with out, but had to be happy with me first to find it.
Again, I am not saying love is not essential...never said that, not sure why everyone thinks I did. The moral of the story is we so many times wait for love to make us happy, it won’t work until we work on ourselves first, become happy within ourselves, then love will work.

The picture and the music fit this poem perfectly. I was quite surprised by it's contents I must say. I've always been told by others you must love yourself before you can love another. I believe that it should be said, you must love yourself, in order to know when another loves you. If you don't love for yourself, how can you expect anyone else too? I like this. Maybe a prince will come along, that just adds to the love that you already found in yourself. Great piece ^_^

Good wording, though I disagree with you. I'd rather find love than live life alone. Maybe it isn't essential, but I don't think it's something I want to live without.

[Kimberly "Melody" Carney]

I understand your point, the point of this poem is; we must look to ourselves to find happiness first, or we will never truly be happy.

[Kimberly "Melody" Carney]

How great! Although love is important in life, it isn't essential. Thank you for sharing that in this piece.

Oh, don't think I was saying that you said that. I was agreeing with you completely.

[Kimberly "Melody" Carney]

I know sweetie I know I just want everyone to know love is also essential; we just must follow steps to get there. I never took offence to it;)

[Falling Leaf.]

Oh good! :)

[Kimberly "Melody" Carney]

I am very easy going and never take offence to anything, anyone says on here ;)

[Falling Leaf.]

Some people I just don't review any more. I'll say "Your syllables in this line are off." They'll reply "OMG WHY DO YOU HATE ME I WAS JUST SHARING MY WRITING YOU #&@%!!!" I just think to myself "Sweet jesus, just grow up already..." >.<

[Kimberly "Melody" Carney]

lol...well they may never get better, and that is sad.

[darkness*star1985]

I thought when i was going to read this about a happy found my prince ever after fairytale, but instead a poem of what is oh so true, we wait for that prince turns into pain, I love the last line "I’ve learned to laugh and love myself, to be the best, I can. I’ve learned that I can be happy now, it was found in me, not a man". Amazing poem. I always love the music you place with your poems.

You have a lot of talent, I hope to see more, you may even think about writing professionally.

[Kimberly "Melody" Carney]

Lovely flow and you captured the story well prince charming bound to let you down or fall off his steed.

[Kimberly "Melody" Carney]

It wasn't even that he let her down, but if we are not happy with ourselves...well never be happy and end up alone.
