You crowned me your princess
Took me up on your horse
Rode me off to the sunset
Told me, “I’m always yours”
I was swept in the romance
Caught up in the blaze
I gave us a chance but
I don’t feel the same
It’s time to take off this crown
You’re not what I need right now
CHORUS:
I’m not in your fairytale
You took me from the wrong story
I know this doesn’t seem fair
But it’s better for you
Don’t paint me the villain
You know it’s not my face
I’m just not the one who
Belongs in this place
I’m not in your fairytale
Woah oh oh oh
I’m not in your fairytale
It was soon that I figured out
That the leap in my heart
Was from all the doubts
That would pull us apart
This slipper doesn’t fit me
Quit trying to put it on
Midnight is coming quickly
And I'll be long gone
It’s time to take off this crown
You’re not what I need right now
CHORUS:
I’m not in your fairytale
You took me from the wrong story
I know this doesn’t seem fair
But it’s better for you
Don’t paint me the villain
You know it’s not my face
I’m just not the one who
Belongs in this place
I’m not in your fairytale
Woah oh oh oh
I’m not in your fairytale
Right now you might hate me
Because you're too blind to see
But one day you’ll thank me
When you realize it’s not me

Sometimes someone loves you so much and you just don't feel the same. This is for my friend, Jules!

Do you think this flows well? Is this how you would feel if you didn't love someone who loved you?

Very Good Write...
This poem appeals to my sense very well... The tone of the poem is supported by the appropriate choice of diction... it suits the speaker's mental plight...
the chorus could have been given some rhythmic lines or alliterative lines or short part to give total effect to the lyric... But I really enjoyed reading this beautiful piece.. It's a perfect expression of heartfelt emotion...
Thanks for sharing
love

Great Flow!
I especially liked the part where you said the leap in my heart was from all the doubts that would pull us apart....that was awesome. I think that people feel the way you described because, for so long that person has been trying to tell themselves their in love...but then the truth in known and all they want to do is save the other person. I hope that made sense....at least i know what I wanted to say lol. But I thought it was GRRRR8! =]
I think I'll write a poem that doesn't relate to me too. Hopefully it'll sound as good as yours. =]
