This is written for my sister of the heart, La Belle, our shared Grim Fairytale. LOVE! Sissy
Two little Southern Belles, raised the Southern Way,
Truly believin that " Every dog would get their day".
As Ma and Pa barked orders, they rushed to obey,
For a whoopin was their reward if they should delay.
To escape, they used movies, music and fairytales,
In their mind, a Prince hid inside each passin male.
They believed a Prince would come gallopin up and take them away,
He would slay all the dragons and save the day!
Time rocked on, but the girls still had hope,
That was all that really kept them afloat.
No princes, but two guys came their way,
Offerin a way out of the dungon where they did stay.
Young and foolish, they married and started a new life,
They had to put away thoughts of romance and passion, they were now a housewife.
There was always dirty clothes, dirty dishes and endless food to prepare,
They gave their all to men who didn't really care.
Love making was just a to do, all part of the act,
They read Harlequin Romance books to get the passion they did lack.
They wrote sad love verse, lamenting their dying dreams,
They wept as they watched their hopes for Happy Ever After fall apart at the seams.
Older now, their men would rather have a cookie,
That will satisfy better than the half-ass attempt for nookie.
Tv, video games, bitchin and snorin,
A wife they have had for years, is quite borin.
The Southern Belles are still standin by their man,
Why?, no one can really understand.
Truth be told, it's much too late to make a move,
So they continue to stay and ignore their groove.
Hell yes!, they could still rock a man's world,
Inside the quiet woman, hides a hot Baby Girl!
The Southern Belle's lives are just a true disaster!,
They still call each other askin," Where the Hell is our promised, Happy Ever After?"
MUSIC: Waitin In Vain

I'm still waiting for my "Happy Ever After". Will it really come? I'm starting to wonder.
Such a sad tale of dreams made and lost in a world not to their liking. Yet, like children in the hearts keeping the dreams alive, very perceptive.....

I gotta believe this is make-believe. -gene.
I love this poem (not because of its pain) because it clearly describes the "tender trap" where many smile while growing frustrated and old.
You do have a style in your truthsaying :-)
