I loved you. _Yes, I did._ But I should’ve known better than to have believed the web of lies you sprouted at me. I should’ve known better than to believe your “I love you.” _Why did I take that bite from the apple, if only I had known it was poisoned._ My mother warned me about strangers with blue eyes walking down the street. She said that was why she was protecting me. _I should've never let down my golden hair, if only I had known._ It didn’t have to wait until the clock struck 12:00 midnight for it to happen; bibbidi-bobbidi-boo, I’ll have to hand it to you, you really had me fooled. _You were never Charming, I needed to be my own Prince._ I’m stuck in a timeless blank, neither moving forward nor back, a canvas that has not been painted yet and sadness is the only color I know. _I’m afraid I don’t have much patience to wait for a 100 years for true love’s first kiss._ A thousand times you tore my walls down, tore me apart and even when I’m at a chokehold, I thought it was still love. _Maybe I was a fool to have thought there was beauty in the beast._ I traded my heart for something temporary, I lost my voice just to let you step all over me, and some part of me hates that I’d still let you if we were to try all over again. _I’ve become the foam of bubbles lost in the sea because I couldn’t hurt you the way you hurt everyone._

Not a Fairytale.
I loved you. _Yes, I did._ But I should’ve known better than to have believed the web of lies you sprouted at me. I should’ve known better than to believe your “I love you.” _Why did I take that bite from the apple, if only I had known it was poisoned._ My mother warned me about strangers with blue eyes walking down the street. She said that was why she was protecting me. _I should've never let down my golden hair, if only I had known._ It didn’t have to wait until the clock struck 12:00 midnight for it to happen; bibbidi-bobbidi-boo, I’ll have to hand it to you, you really had me fooled. _You were never Charming, I needed to be my own Prince._ I’m stuck in a timeless blank, neither moving forward nor back, a canvas that has not been painted yet and sadness is the only color I know. _I’m afraid I don’t have much patience to wait for a 100 years for true love’s first kiss._ A thousand times you tore my walls down, tore me apart and even when I’m at a chokehold, I thought it was still love. _Maybe I was a fool to have thought there was beauty in the beast._ I traded my heart for something temporary, I lost my voice just to let you step all over me, and some part of me hates that I’d still let you if we were to try all over again. _I’ve become the foam of bubbles lost in the sea because I couldn’t hurt you the way you hurt everyone._
