The Truth About Fairy Tales #2

Fairy tales are beginning to anger me

They always conclude with "Happily Ever After"

As if it's a guarantee

A sealed deal

Certified with a wax stamp

And a tight and binding promise

But that doesn't happen

After

That first kiss fades

And he walks away

To his door or work or elsewhere

Marbles of thick doubt

Pit themselves in your stomach

Anchor there

And clog your guts

So you're heavy and stuck

In nightmares

When that's not what it

Should be about

At all

Anyway
