I’m not interested in your
Once upon a times
Or
Happily Ever Afters
Because I get it

Really, I do

I don’t need your fairy tales
Or your white lies
All I want is the truth
Answers to my questions
The truth about love

The lies about friendship
Washed away

I’m old enough, mature enough
I deserve the truth
Eros or Otherwise
Can love last?

And if time is the test
That decides if we last
I think I might skip class
And just never take it

And instead snuggle down
With Cinderella or Rapunzel
Stay up late and watch
As Harry and Ron’s friendship blossoms
But never dies

Because unlike them
I’ll never experience something so true
If I can’t get my answers
I so desperately desire
I’ll take your sweet lullabies
And your *poisoned goodbyes
