I don't expect you to understand,
I know you will never understand the
way it felt when you held me.
How it felt like all the pieces of myself were being
held together.
When you let go I shattered into pieces
on the cold floor called loneliness.
Waiting for the broom called society to sweep me up
into the dust pan called expectations and ultimately
chuck me into the waste basket called reality.
I don't expect you to understand why I needed you.
Why it hurt so bad that you didn't need me.
I don't expect you to understand anything that I have gonethrough
they are my struggles and my journeys.
You were just a bump along the way.
A bump that caused my suspension to recoil,
but a bump none the less.
You were my knight in shining armor.
My light at the end of the tunnel
or at least I thought so.
You shimmered like a shooting star.
I wished upon you in the darkest of nights.
When the thoughts clouded my head.
I felt like Dorothy clicking her heals
and getting her wish.
I felt like Cinderella slipping on her glass slipper,
and marrying her true love,
I felt like Snow white being woken
form an eternal sleep with a kiss.
It felt like a fairy tale.
Happily Ever After.
Until one day when I saw the look in your eyes
I knew.
My fairy tale was over.
Dorothy still in Oz.
Cinderella with a broken glass slipper.
Snow White with her heart cut out in a box.
Happily Never After.
