A Reflection


Once upon a time,
Innocence was true,
A moment, a kiss,
And I fell in love with you
Once upon a time,
We were happy with what we had,
A cottage, a child,
Before things got bad
Once upon a time,
You tried something new,
Dark magic, and sorcery,
That tore you in two
Once upon a time,
Your heart filled with greed,
For money, for power,
For a new life to lead
Once upon a time,
An opportunity arose,
To be queen, to command,
To rule unopposed
Once upon a time,
You wouldn't stay with me,
Although I begged, and cried,
You ignored my every plea
Once upon a time,
You broke my heart,
Trapped me in a mirror,
Banished a world apart
Once upon a time,
There's nothing left to do,
But my sweet, evil queen,
I will always love you
