Fairytale Ending

I let it weigh me down long enough That it’s suffering may cure my denial The truth they say is clearer in pain Clearly my mirage has given way to desert sand But the scars left by false hope birth a beast of a domesticated heart No cage will hold this one captive I fear Deep in the heart of night hear it howl In rage, regret and new insight He will forever stalk the woods For little girls in red hoods and baskets full of goodies Until beauty finds him And rids him of this grave curse Someone should have warned him to be weary of rabbit holes Indeed what a great fall All hope now lay in the hands of the king’s horses and men Jack fell down and broke his heart but Jill only came tumbling after
