My Twisted Fairytale


Like every story,ours had a start

 

But

 

it never seemed to have an end

 

Our beginning was nothing but amazing

 

Our conversations turned from minutes into hours

 

we couldn't get enough of each other

 

Then our love turned into something that couldn't be changed

 

no matter how much we tried

 

It was a little mistake but it made you change your perspective of me

 

I started sacrificing my friends and my family

 

until I wasn't my true self anymore

 

Your love started turning into a war when you started showing me

 

the rope

 

the knifes

 

the guns

 

and the scars

 

I didn't want to see you gone as if you didn't matter

 

In my eyes you weren’t manipulating as the others told me


 

I only wanted to help

 

If I ever disagreed the threats would come back worse than the last

 

Every chat we'd have turned into a ticking time bomb

 

waiting to explode at the littlest mistake.

 

When I tried getting away

 

I didn't remember your claws or your arguments

 

I only thought about all the great things you did

 

You turned from a rose garden

 

all full of life and spirit into a vine filled trap

 

not letting me leave or else,I'd get hurt too.

 

So,you win.
