Fairy Tales
Why do we bother with
“For better or for worse”
When we both know better isn’t an option?
Let’s play pretend,
Again. I’m the princess and you’re the dragon
My only friend. My worst enemy.
Don’t let their shining armour blind my eyes;
They can’t save me
From safety.
Back to life, where fairy tales die.
And your words, which blacken my lungs and turn my heart to ash.
No one can hear me, why do I deserve this curse?
An insomniac with no beauty to speak of
And a long lost
Happily ever after.
