There’s no happy ever after; No silence filled with laughter

When would I see it, I wondered;

the light at the end of the tunnel

surely I was nearing the end, I had to be

I went through all the trials and tribulations;

and I couldn't bear to go on any longer;

I searched and searched for all silver linings,

summoning every courage I could channel

to hold on dearly to the hope of happy endings

but suddenly, clearly, the realisation hit me

there's no happy ever after;

it is merely an illusion

watching as all hopes and dreams plundered,

broken-hearted, I turned to solitude;

convincing myself they would only delude

I vowed to never again let anyone near;

to all sweet nothings, I'd just close my ears

and build a life sheltered by durable silence;

sweet words always were my weakness

and my type of love cultivated a violence;

I'd be better off accustomed to loneliness

but there's no silence filled with laughter

and the melody of love always was stronger
