Happy ending... not

Pain a figment of the mind
Love an illusion of a kind

The game we play,
because we hope and dream.
Fairy tales always end,
with happily ever after

Happy endings don't exist
But, bitter agony does
Shall I read the list
of all the misery?

The list never ends.
But, defeat is not admited
because life is given to love
when you believe in happy endings

A few mispells in the last verse, but very open and raw. I see it expanding, I hope.

you have put across your perception of love in a good way...

how about a wee bit of change as in

Happy endings don't exist
But, bitter agony does
Shall I read the list
of all the misery?
(of the painful hurts)
