You'll Never Read A Tragic Fairytale

Wishing on eyelashes.
All that glitters...
Poisonous hopes.
Mindless litter.
Bring love to its knees.
Lying dead.
Silent cries and pleas.
All hope has fled.
Lost...
Lacking the kiss
Search for the ending,
That I somehow missed.
Stuck in a dream
Spiraling away.
Whoever said
The hopeful must pay?
The prince never came.
The shoe didn't fit.
This voice never spoke,
The flame never lit.
Stuck in its lamp,
The genie just sat.
There's nothing but pumpkins
And white field rats.
Rapunzel lost use for
her flowing long hair.
Seven little men
Never seemed to care.
Forced to live life
And forced to grow old.
It's not playing out
like the stories foretold.
Stuck in a place
So unlike my own,
I'm inside my house,
But so far from home.
Hearts are broken
Far beyond mending.
We lost sight
Of the happy ending.
