A Cold Day in Hades (the Fictional Tale of the End of a Great Romance)

You were Cinderella and me your charming Prince
As close as wash to rinse
As certain as death and taxes
As attached to front as back is

Romeo and Juliet just good friends
They'd break before we'd bend
Cleopatra and Caesar mere cronies
Compared to us they're phonies

Then one day it grew so dark
And the sun refused to shine
Once no more before twice
Then Hades turned to ice

On the day hell froze over I watched you walk out the door
On the day hell froze over forever was forever no more
On the day hell froze over the music made no sound
On the day hell froze over I was the square to your round

You were Cinderella but the shoe no longer fit
A horse that spit the bit
A worm that now had turned
A lesson no longer learned

Romeo and Juliet lay dead
The poison entered their bed
Cleopatra and Caesar doomed
Their love buried and entombed

On the day it grew so dark
And the moon refused to glow
Every yes a no
A river of tears did flow

On the day hell froze over I watched you walk out the door
On the day hell froze over forever was forever no more
On the day hell froze over the music made no sound
On the day hell froze over I was the square to your round
