The Dreams We Thought We Shared

what happens
when a bad dream
isn’t just a bad dream
but a reality?

what now
when you said you’d
protect me from reality
but you
yourself 
made it a reality?

what do i do
when you stopped
wanting to protect me
from both
bad dreams
and
reality?

the promise
of a fairytale ending so true
now
just an impossible dream
