It wasn't supposed to be like this, this pain and tears. Smiles were what he promised me, not emptiness and fear. ''My only joy in life'', he said, ''will be to make you smile!'' ''To hold you close, to kiss your lips, I'd walk for bloody miles.''
I liked myself, who I'd become, it took so much, you see, To learn to understand myself, and to be the very best ''me''. I wonder what became of the person that I was then, He has convinced me, very well, that I'm gone round the bend.
I loved him then, from far away, the man I thought he was. But life is never like we dream, and there'll never be an ''us''. For he is who he always was, my prince is still a frog. And I am but an after-thought, living 'neath his log.
