i hold deception in my mind
as i read stories of young
teens falling in love
and falling in love hard and fast
because in my mind
it's a story of you and me
and we're right at the conflict
we're at the part where i am
so deeply infatuated with the very
essence of your being
and you want nothing more
but to have nothing to do with me
and when i read these love stories
i am given the false hope
that maybe you'll come back to me
maybe you'll fall in love with me
the way i did with you
maybe just maybe
our story will have a happy ending
maybe i should just stop
reading these fairy tale stories
that always end in love
