By Cheryl Antao-Xavier
Our fairy tale love was but a fanciful dream
In the pages of life I saw no truth in the dream

Doubt crept into my heart like a stealthy thief
Thrusting you off your pedestal in my esteem

Cupid’s arrow was laced with a strong opiate
In dull fascination I see my lifeblood stream

Look not for love beneath a brazen neon light
True love will shine in the softest moonbeam

I pledged my troth in this fair game of chance
My heart ceded as lost, my soul I will redeem

If you seek wedded bliss as an ultimate dream
My love, make sure it is not another’s dream
