Once upon a time... This one took longer to write, but I feel it's so beautiful...

Once upon a time
I wished upon a golden star
I would kneel and pray
And stare at the light so far.

Once upon a time
I was left broken and scarred.
Holding a shattered blade
I slashed at my merciless fate.

Once upon a time
I wished for a healed heart.
With a pendant proud and tall
I laughed with tears of joy.

Once upon a time
I fell for a maiden fair.
With eyes as green as a forest
And silk of gold for hair.

Once upon a time
I believed in fairy tales
In dancing lights so merry
In happy endings aplenty.
