Love is a beautiful thing if you have it
It’s like a glass house that everyone wants
But not everyone can pay the price
And I had it
You see I had nothing but to stare at them who lived in the glass houses
And wish I were there
But things did happen and I never wanted to be there
There were sometimes broken windows and shattered glass all over
And the one who jumped out of there
Injuries sustained
I was scared of that
But I knew him
And I loved him
He wouldn’t notice me
I was the scum of the earth
And ohhh he’s record of dates have been the elegant, exuberant, rich and famous
And I was the science nerd
He was the type I won’t want to encounter
But teachers won’t let us be
Professors would pair us up with the excuse we were the brightest
Ironically, I always left for school with my hair looking like billions of disarranged tentacles
But I had always rejoiced at the times we had to spend together
And then he did notice me
I became the lucky one
He had the nicest things to say
Ofcourse in the meanest ways
But I fell regardless
Then slowly he wanted to know things about me
He even shared his world with me
And forced his way into mine
He claimed to love me
I refused to listen to such a thing
I was no Cinderella and he definitely was my Prince Charming
But it wasn’t true… not for me
And he persevered, and waited
He’s search for the leg that fit the shoe
I let my fears into my stomach and decided to live it all
I stepped into the glass house
And he showered me
Love is indeed such a beautiful thing
But, he had showered others too
It scared me
And I saw them all
They were not like me
They were what I knew he wanted
What he ought to want
And no assurance could get me to believe otherwise
So I locked my gates, I wanted to protect myself from the very possible
But the thing I never knew was this
When you live in a glass house
Don’t throw stones at it
Cause you’d step on the broken glass
And I did break it all
The broken glass that was never swept away
Stopped Cinderella’s feet from fitting into the shoe
And even though Prince Charming recognized her as the one at the ball
It was declared that she wasn’t the one
I had let my fears cause the tiny upset in my tummy
And I endlessly wished I had not taken them in
He couldn’t have waited anymore
He was tired of walking around the egg shells
I refused to come to him
And he couldn’t stretch any further
My dreams of being the fairy tale princess were never realized
He kissed sleeping beauty
But she was too scared to open her eyes
