I hoped for you …

The fool and folly of happy every after promised to me seemed less childish then…

I wished for you …

And no star fell to answer my request …

I searched for you …

And lost myself in bitter darkness …

Woke to shadows of you lying next to me …

Whispered lies so my heart would not know differently …

I’ve built my dreams on your silence …

Now, I wait for you …

And time itself seems to mock me …

Impostors wearing your face con me …

My heart laughs at me …

And you still hide from me …

I love you …

But you’re why I no longer believe in fairy tales…
