Wake up, Sleeping Beauty
There's no prince to be found.
I've searched and I've searched
In this high, towered town.
I loved how he loved me
I loved how he'd clown
I thought that I'd found him,
Made me weak in the knees.
He had pretty manners,
Said Thank-you and Please.
I loved how he loved me
I love how he teased
Like a desert mirage,
He was not what he seemed.
He broke my heart slowly
Then watched as I screamed
I loved how he loved me
I hated his schemes
He had not a penny
Not a job, car or house
He had only one asset,
A beautiful young spouse
He never loved me
I hate that I cared

Great rebuttal to the age old adage it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Love the title.
