Candy Kelly - Cinderellas Lament

Oh love, why must you be perplexing?
And ethics, why is it me you’re hexing?
Love, you’re not the bliss I need-
Love, elusive love, you trouble me!

Where are the sonnets with promises of love?
Where’s the romantic walks under stars above?
They are not ours, I’ll never see-
How great together I hoped we’d be.

Love is not ours, I’ll never know
The greatest desire of my soul.
For I don’t belong to you,
Nor you to me,
Love may apply to others
But as for us- No possibility!

Love isn’t ours, I’ll never know,
The sacrament of two bonding souls.
Such delight would be so disarming,
Where, oh where, is my Prince Charming?
