fairytales,

don't exist

a beautiful lie,

thought up by

a well-meaning person

- like me, like you -

in an attempt to catch the dappled sunlight

and preserve our fragile beauty

of dreams

a glimmer of hope to dark nights

a candle to a heart

yet, a dream dreamed too hard can engulf,

can choke, can destroy

we all dream of a beautiful relationship

but we all dream too hard

and fall

thank you,

well meaning forefather,

but i'll rather not dream,

not love,

not fall.

swinging to the extreme ends of the pendulum

though enriching, though wonderful, though bittersweet,

i don't think it's for me

goodbye beloved fairytale

dog-eared you may be,

i've found a new belief.

or so i delude myself

but beliefs are for believing.

even non-existent ones
