Dear darlin'

It was a journey no-one else
Could ever hope to have
A fairytale that no-one else
Could ever write about

It was love and tears
And a realisation of fears
You told me yours, I tried to hide mine
But you were unrelentless
In your quest to show me love
And my fears came gushing out

But the darkness I had
The darkness you showed me I had

Ended the fairytale
With no happy ending
