I skipped from left to right
Across the burning deck
to save my love unrequited
From the flameing wreck

I approach her perfect form
trapped beneath fallen beam
and i brace my back
though i burn in sulphorous steam

"Begone you foul usurper"
Her foul words do shock
"I wait for my prince charming
to free me from the block"

So i bade the foul wench
good luck into the flames
I did not stop to tell her
Prince charming caused the flames

Take a good look at my face
Well, don't my smile look out of  place
look a little closer its easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Interesting tale, reminded me of a story I once heard from a western movie titled, My Name Is Nobody. Enjoyed.

Reminds me of the time when I offered a handicapped person assistance and was almost hit over the head with a crutch!

LOL

Enjoyed!
God bless!

(big huggssssssss) Oh Walter, this is so very heartachingly powerful, sweet friend, deceit and betrayal are so very common and I hope it has never happened to you! (sigh) I send angel hugs out to all hurt by hypocritical love, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Walter, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
