Shattered fairy tale

I was so caught up in my own fairy tale,
That I didn't see him riding away.
I missed out the absence of laughs, didn't suspect the coy smiles,
Didn't notice the fainting sparkle in his eyes...
Refused to admit my love story was coming to an end,
for I was happy in my make-believe.

Now it's all gone...
Broken heart, broken dreams,
Lost in a tale that never was.
Picking up the pieces of what's left of me, shattered,
Trying to let go of something that once was my whole life.
Now just two rings to remind me of my own failure.

Once upon a time there was a princess,
who got lost in her fairy tale.
Will she ever find her way back?

It's a beautiful day outside, and the sun also shines within me... Feeling happy, at peace, complete... starting to enjoy my new me, my new persona, after some downs, finally ups!

Scars

Vez em quando a ferida sangra...
um dia vai sarar, mas a cicatriz permanece, indelével.
O tempo não cura, só ameniza...
Cicatrizes fazem parte de uma vida vivida,
Mas oh! como dói viver!

The most absolute truth is that we are born alone and die alone... the beauty of living is finding people that go with us along the way... but we can't forget that noone is glued to us, everyone is free to come and go as they wish... So the secret is knowing how to love living with ourselves, in our most lonely and complete company.

Sometimes I wonder if our perception of who we are and what we do is so distorted that we can't see it clearly... How different is reality from our intentions? Why is it that we work so hard to please someone who does not care, or does not understand our caring?
Sometimes it hurts being misunderstood...
