Fairytales.... (From the Not Quite A Love Poem Collection)

[b"]I can remember stories...
those things my Mother said...
she told me Fairytales... before
I went to bed...
"[/b]

Now I've learned...
there are no Happy Endings
No ever afters In sight...

 
There's Only Reality...
and it comes without The Knight
I learned  
to slay my own dragons
Alone... and by myself
 
I learned not to  
take Apples from strangers
Cause they were bad for my health

 
"She Never told me that we'd  
Cuss cry & scream & lie...
She never said that maybe
One day he'd say goodbye"

 
 
I had to learn the hard way
about Loves up's & downs...
No Royal Kiss could save me
No potions could be found...

 
Now I am so much older...
No more Twinkle's in my eyes
No more moving blindly...
Into fake lullaby's

 
See I... I don't see pie
up in the sky baby...
It's reality now...

 
Oh I  dont feel the need
to be satisfied...
I can't become a child again...
 
Loves fantasy... Is over
Now the search...
For My own soul...
Must now begin...
