Love like a fairy tale


My first ever experience with love and it's not like what I was taught as a child

Obsession rules me like a tell-tale heart

And I express my love like those short stories of happiness

As her forgotten love cuts deep like the scars on her pale white wrists

And although I look her in her Alice-in-Wonderland blue eyes

And tell her she is the most stunning princess of my life

She misunderstands me as though i'm the mirror in her bedroom

She looks right through my words and sees only what she despises

 

My first ever experience with love and it's not like what I was taught as a child

A world of perpetual judgement metastasizes in her brain

Never did she she know that chivalry has yet to depart

Corruption from the monotonous manipulative fools she once called her prince

Used and thrown away like a silk tissue paper she was left transcluently fragile

All she wanted was the tactile touch of warm soft flesh

To her I'm prince charming and to me she my Annabel Lee

With our love both naive and cynical

 

My first ever experience with love and it's not like what I was taught as a child

She so experienced with relationships, yet not know of true love

I that know only the cliche tales of love, yet unfamiliar with relationships

In truth teenage love is what you make it, like many fairy tales tis but a story

But whether the story is worth reading is to be decided

So  I decide to read her a tale, to love her like she has never been loved before

As she has always wanted to be loved

And Although she is just another girl equally deserving of a love like a fairy tale

She is my first ever experience with love and it's not like what I was taught as a child
