Once upon a time there was love// The clouds would part right for the stars// The sun would set for the moon above// And we made the sky ours// The creatures would creep in a moonlight serenade//  Creating the mood for romance// Until he cut my heart with a blade// And prepared me in a fighting stance// We didn't speak, though we understood// Our time had come to an abrupt end// This short time never could// Survive such a brutal bend// And as I think back on my life from the rafter// There truly was never a happily ever after.
