Fairy Tales and endings...

Of the two of us,

you need to be stronger...

Not because I'm weak,

but because

I don't know

how not to be strong.

I've been raised

to have my chin up and

head proud,

so, my dear,

I ask that you

steel yourself more,

you need to be stronger...

Because we need to accept

that there's a possibility that

we won't be good for each other anymore...

when love alone will no longer suffice...

My prince, please be stronger -

Walk away when you feel

that we are slowly dying

out of loving each other.

We are only human,

I am only human,

I will fight for us,

but I will not care if it's right.

See, that's why you

need to be stronger...

I ask that you fall deaf to my pleas,

I ask that you close your eyes and

walk away...

I will not hold in against you -

I will not.

So please, be strong enough

for the both of us,

when you feel tired and when

our love is nothing but poison to our hearts,

I pray that you

will have the courage to

break my heart.

Walk away and don't look back.

The last thing I want

is to hold you back...

Please be strong enough to let go

even if I'm still holding on.

Leave me be and

I will understand.

I will not keep you from happiness.

I will never forgive myself if I do.

 

Don't rescue me,

when that time comes,

think not of me as your princess...

I am a bitter queen keeping you from

your happy ending...
