a modern fairytale


Fairytales are fake.

we met online

Royal balls are for royals.

we struggled with the distance

Princesses get some jets.

we married in a gym

Brides get giant dresses.

grandma paid the venue

The King has nightly feasts.

we had no money/food

Royalty stays the same mansion.

we moved back in with my parents

Life goes on in castles.

we were still really broke

love isn't a fairytale.

<p>I feel my heart&nbsp;</p><p>For the</p><p>first time</p><p>Since the part.</p><p>Do you</p><p>fell mine?</p><p>I can&#39;t sleep.</p><p>It&#39;s a&nbsp;</p><p>constant battle</p><p>Between nightmares</p><p>And dreams</p><p>of you.</p><p>I couldn&#39;t live</p><p>without you.</p><p>And here I am</p><p>without you,</p><p>Dying constantly.</p>

<p>I can hear you.</p><p>Breathing.</p><p>Mumbling.</p><p>Thinking.</p><p>Stay a while love.</p><p>I want you louder.</p><p>I can feel you.</p><p>Breathing.</p><p>Mumbling.</p><p>Thinking.</p><p>Stay a while love.</p><p>I need you forever.</p>

<p>I&#39;m blowing away with this dust.</p><p>I feel like I must.</p><p>It&#39;s not the same as before us.</p><p>You made me rust.</p><p>The tug of air fills my hopes.</p><p>I never learnt your ropes.</p><p>You&#39;re untraveled land,</p><p>And I&#39;m just scattered sand.</p>
