Nov 2013
I know you're feeling quite hollow like a shell, housing nothing but empty promises and worn out cliches
Your mind is blown when you find yourself freezing to death on top of a white horse drawn carriage
Your insides quivering with rejection, self esteem collapsing in minutes
You recited the same fairy tale for each lover, exact same words, exact same gestures
Only to have your perfectly planned out routine crumble to pieces before your eyes
A girl, looking nothing like a princess, sees through the arrogance you deflect into the air around you
She's shattering the glass slippers you surplus in your closet
And shredding the red roses you grow in your enchanted garden
She's poisoning an apple to eradicate your self worth and bring you back down to earth
Prince Charming is fictional and you my dear
Are irrelevant
