Jaded Little Fairytale

So jaded, misappropriated, confused and lost. Fairly fairytales, Lived, at what cost? Is nothing sacred anymore? Modern day Cinderellas’ marry princes and are soon swept away by crocodiles with beguiling smiles. Prince Charming, answers the call of false maidens in distress Who appeal to a nature so base, he sits alone in a ramshackle castle obsessed With wooing not keeping, all the while held together by twine and broken glass, into his heart, darkness creeping While Romeo is in loved with Mercutio instead of Juliet When animals are treated as children and children are treated just like pets. When we live side by side with fragile happiness, but welcome regrets. When indifference and passion are fellow bed mates And the expected prognostication of marriage is more convenience and less about faithfulness and faith. When dreams are shattered as soon as they are born When the steady cadence of dying love comforts the love-lorn When heartache is expected and dreams unspoken That is when the fairy-tale is broken.
