No Prince Charming

It is a deeply lonely life
That I have chosen to live
Surrounded by myriad people
Who take but never give

I retreat into my own little world
When a kind word is spoken
I am skeptical and unbelieving
So many times, my heart has been broken

My loneliness I don like armor
No prince by my side
No fairytale man
The pieces of my heart scattered far and wide

I chose this life I know
Always doing the expected
Devoted to a misconception
Now choices regretted
