“Not Everything Is as It Seems.”

 let my tears fall where they may.
I want true love to come my way.
A true love to have and to hold.
Someone to share my life and grow old.

Yet although I have found my heart’s rose.
She has sadly chosen another lesser man’s rose.
So, I go on living my empty life.
Without my true love, my heart’s chosen wife.

I truly framed her with many a rose.
I really framed her secretly with my prose.
The true king without a prenup.
Without love and his rose ring.

I’ve lived many years, giving almost everything away.
For her to actually return my love today.
I’m a hopeless romantic—what can I say?
This passion-filled monster is here to stay.

Yet although I have found my heart’s rose.
She has sadly chosen another lesser man’s rose.
So I go on living my empty life.
Without my true love, my heart’s chosen wife.

I truly framed her with many a rose.
I really framed her secretly with my prose.
The true king without a prenup.
Without love and his rose ring.

Refrain (spoken softly):
So that others can have their dreams.
Not everything perceived is as it seems.
