Prince Charming

Prince Charming stepped into my life
His eyes were fixed on me
I quivered in his gentle touch
Afraid at first he'd see

❤

For I was young and vulnerable
Desperate to know such love
I whispered prayers, but all I heard
Was silence up above

❤

Prince Charming lived a different life
Than what I lived at home
I didn't want, and couldn't bear
The thought of life alone

❤

I saw some things that bothered me
But silence filled my heart
To compromise was easier
Than letting love depart

❤

Prince Charming led me far away
From all I knew was good
When I began to feel remorse
I mustered all I could

❤

But I lacked strength to walk away
Instead I chose to stay
Thinking about the way he was
Before our clouds turned gray

❤

Prince Charming was a special man
That is, at lease to me
And I believed if I would yield
I'd somehow help him see.

❤

My life became a sacrifice
To fill his every whim
Much like a slave, I soon began
To live my life like him

❤

Prince Charming saw my servant hood
And lifted up in pride
Unbearable my life became
And in his eyes, despised!

❤

As if the drugs were not enough
He brought his girlfriends home
Turning the tables, he told me
The fault was all my own

❤

Prince Charming knew I'd never leave
He had me mind and soul
Body and spirit, I was his
He'd reached his highest goal

❤

Still I believed that deep within
He'd love me as before
One day I crashed, and as I did
I heard him close the door

❤

Prince Charming left and gave the keys
To several ugly men
When I awoke my body hurt
And, I was scared again

❤

I found out later what they did,
And, tried to take my life
That it was taped, and saved on film
Still cuts me like a knife

❤

"Prince Charming why?" I cried in tears
That couldn't find relief
"Am I so stupid in my heart
So blind to have believed"

❤

Deciding then that I'd call home
I walked to find a phone
Hearing the snickers as I passed
I bore my shame alone

❤

Prince Charming was an awful man
He lived to please himself
Despising others he had used
I wished he'd burn in hell!

❤

My family knew what "I" had done
And, bitter were their hearts
"You made your bed" I heard them say
"with us you have no part!"

❤

Prince Charming knew I hated him
But, he showed so much charm
He promised he would change, and so
I took him in my arms

❤

When night returned, he stepped outside
My fears returned again
Blocking the door, I sat down low

❤

Prince Charming hollered "Open up!"
And tried to break the door
"Who is it?" I cried out in fear
"I need to know before"

❤

He came in flying with his fists
I thought it was my fault
I should have known it would provoke
This horrible assault

❤

Prince Charming made me do some things
I didn't want to do
I loathed him when he threatened me
If I would not be true

❤

Where could I go? What could I do?
So many nights I cried
Plunging into the life of drugs
I wanted just to die

❤

Prince Charming kept his women close
That is, except for me
I was too skinny, marred by drugs
A sore for eyes to see

❤

My hopes and dreams were shattered fierce
No longer did I care
I watched the women, and I cried
Knowing the how and where

❤

Prince Charming knew his part so well
Suspicions never came
To him it seems like winning hearts
Was just like playing games

❤

Shoving the needle in my arm
The world soon disappeared
When I awoke, I found myself
With people I once feared

❤

Prince Charming feared I'd soon be dead
And sent me down the street
I heard their prayers, and felt their love
Then settled down to sleep

❤

I woke up late into the night
But heard a gentle voice
It said that I was very loved
And that I had a choice

❤

"Prince Charming!" I cried out "It's you!
You're back to who you were!"
But when I opened up my eyes
My fears again were stirred

❤

For I was laying on the couch
With strangers all around
They seemed so different, and I heard
A happy, joyful sound

❤

Prince Charming told me they were mean
Unable to have fun
And I believed his words were true
My life was so undone

❤

I soon discovered he was wrong
And, I felt sick inside
My body shuddered, craving drugs
I wanted just to hide

❤

Prince Charming didn't seem to care
That I remained away
And these my rescuers all said
That I was free to stay

❤

I struggled through some fierce withdrawals
For many days to come
Though it was hard, I learned to eat
Still feeling very numb

❤

Prince Charming saw that I had changed
And tried to coax me back
At first I wouldn't go, but soon
My feeling made attack

❤

Forgetting all the dreadful things
My "Prince" had ever done
I once again returned to find
The cycle had begun

❤

Prince Charming wasn't real, you see
He had an evil heart
To other men he'd often boast
That women were his art

❤

To leave was growing difficult
My rescuers were tired
At least that's what I saw in them
Fearing their love expired

❤

Prince Charming had a hold on me
Impossible to break
Or so I thought, until one day
A choice I had to make

❤

Renounce the "soul-ties" I had made
Break all their binding cords
Receive God's love in welcoming
Jesus Christ my Lord!

❤

Prince Charming tried, but soon gave up
Seeing his spell was broke
My heart was captured, fresh and new
With each word Jesus spoke!

❤

No longer hiding in my shame
My life an open book
I often wonder why it was
For all the time I took.

❤

Prince Charming is a wounded man
Who passes on his pain
I do not hate him anymore
Though privy to his game

❤

He is a victim after all
Deceived in mind and soul
A life of sex and drugs he thinks

❤

Prince Charming passes on his pain
Believing his control
Will keep him safe, yet further wounds
Is all his life does show!

❤

My eyes now opened, I can see
My life for what it was

❤

Prince Charming is a crafty man
And many are deceived
Our children nee a God who's real
In order to believe

❤

Lest someone like Prince Charming come
And sweep their hearts away
No home is safe, and his attack
Can come both night and day!

❤

Prince Charming holds but one big fear
That he will be revealed
Deception is his only power
His victims think he's real

❤

But those who know the love of God
In Jesus Christ our Lord
Have seen Prince Charming as he is
And, call him 'friend' no more!

❤

Prince Charming
came to me in prayer
But, he was not the same!
My eyes were opened, and I saw
He had a different name

❤

His eyes revealed my Lord Himself
Not him whose life I'd known
As Jesus drew me closer still
I knew my love had grown

❤

"Prince Charming, I don't understand"
I said through tearful eyes
"Why are you dressed like my old prince?
Will you please tell me why?"

❤

He told me He had never changed
Except for in my view
And since my love had grown within
My eyes could see Him new

❤

"Prince Charming," I began to ask
"I need you to explain"
You wanted love so desperately
Deception made his claim

❤

You took him as a substitute
Which kept us far apart
You saw him as your loving Prince
His charm was in your heart

❤

"Prince Charming,
You are right!" I cried
"Thank you for loving me!
Thank you for opening my eyes!
For setting my heart free!"

❤

My new Prince Charming is for real
Unlike the fake I knew
He keeps me safe, and quite secure
Because His love is true!
