Dump the Pumpkin

I loved you once in silence

As the old song goes

And in silence I love you still

Knowing you do not feel the same

I can feel your eyes

Drilling deeply into my soul

Searching the depths of me

Trying to find my secretI see your smile

Taunting me, tricking me into trust.

You know my heart pounds

When you smile at me.

Your tricks have worked

I love you more each day

And each day my love

Makes my heart break anew

An innocent embrace

Caused me to fall

I've lost my slipper

Prince Charming, please take me to your ball!

Realize that it's time

To let the pumpkin go

Look up from the others

And see that I've entered the room

Is that you, my prince?

I beg each day

"Oh, God, let it be!"

But, no...

A secret glance

A suppressed giggle

A teary eye

Is all that I dare give you

Oh, my dear

You danced with me once

Won't you please

Please take me in your arms again!

Oh my dear prince

My heart is broken!

Cinderella has arrived!

It's truly time...

Dump the pumpkin!!!
