#happilyeverafter
I am falling again, happily
Like a bird,
who's welcomed by the beans in the cage
Only to get captured in it,
But it seems to be captivating
the pain and the suffering
Crazy you anticipate,
And I guess that's fine
Cause it's divergent the way I live
Happily, in a cage through all the
Rack in pain, Miserably happy in the pain
And when I say,
I am falling again, happily
I mean the crumbling, of my soul
But I guess that's just fine because
I have put on a ring to my sorrows,
And in the end, we are happily ever after,
Forever, to eternity my wretchedness and thee

Writing my own fairytale
Maybe that's where my Happy ending lies

A yearning desire, thirst to fulfill
I look into the endless land
As I stand at the edge of a high wall
Holding back, with anticipation.
One day it shall be complete
My once upon a time
When he comes from a faraway land,
My knight in shining armor.
On a beautiful white horse
He will take me away
Where nobody will be
Just him and me.

The lights dimmed
The music slowed
Everyone but me and him had a partner
he stood feet from me standing, watching me as I looked depressingly on the
dancing lover and their dates
-
I just sat on the floor my long white dress a mess
My lip stick long gone
My long hair lying frail on my shoulders
-
Then he looked at me and I looked back
He looked as though he was about to say something
Then he stopped himself
I nearly said something but I stopped myself
-
So we sat and watched the dance
The slow dance

Now that I have begun to heal
I do not want to remember
The heartache you made me feel
Those cold days in December
Tonight I am destined to fail
Mind will take me back
The concrete wall surrounding
My fragile heart will crack
Memories will trickle out,
One moment after the other
I will try to make them go away
They're too strong to smother
I have hidden them for far too long
In your quiet presence they awaken
Reminding me that I cannot have
Back pieces you have taken
All this time I have avoided
Mention of your name
Because I will not allow myself
To fall again into your game
Every once in awhile
I forget that you are a liar
It slips my distracted mind how dangerous
It is to play with burning fire
Hear a maybe in my head
Feel a little flicker of what we had
I reminisce about how it once was
Before our relationship went bad
I should know better
I see through your disguise
A master of illusion
You have one billion alibis
So tell me that you have changed
You're sorry you didn't stay
But do not expect me to believe
You're as different as you say
I could not handle all the hurt
Although you bring laughter
Because I finally realize with you
There is no such thing as "happily-ever-after"

Flashing lights and days bright couldn’t be better with you at my side.
I didn’t need anything in rush, but you broke my heart in a hush.
Thought I could never be well again,
when I looked out of the window to take a glimpse at the rain,
Realised that all my feelings had gone in vain.
Was it all a joke?
How could I be left broke?
Couldn’t find any answers,
Lost myself in the late-late hours.
While trying to find my destiny,
Found someone who made me feel love’s eternity.
Suddenly a glittering light flashed from the dark,
It was like a tyndall effect on my heart.
Saw a knight so tall and bright,
Gave me a hand and asked if I’d be his bride?
Shook my head in agreement and went on a long trail.
His presence left me mesmerised,
Cause for I couldn’t see what I had left behind.
All the black memories got washed out,
With the new sounds of love profound.
It was like an ailing,
There couldn’t be any love with such a Great Ending!

As sweet as sugar,
As Fragile as glass,
Everyone knew she wouldn't last.
As bitter as coffee,
As Hard as stone,
That was his personality.
She loved him,
And he broke her,
They had no happily ever after.

And I, I dream of a magical place
Where I might have a smile on my face
A mother and father who love me
Living together under the eldest tree
It is a beautiful land
There are always adventures at hand
Ones where the good prevails
But darkness endures, as the tales
I wouldn't have to live in a castle
We needn't any vassal
Having each other was always enough
Even when things got tough
My friends would fight by my side
And we may never die
We had each other
We loved one another
My whole family, blood or not
Could always save each other if we sought with purity
Because love is the most powerful thing
So we all end up living as the king
Because our love is truelove
And the trees sing out above
The water flows with the music
Wind singing loud as the humans
The forest, the kingdom, the people
And even those who were thought to be evil
Their homes would be filled with love and laughter
And we would all live happily ever after

I believe in happiness
In fairytales and ever afters
Prince Charmings and true love
Because that's what I believe
Everyday
In the touch of a hand
A sparkle in your eyes
I feel the warmth in your smile
And the happiness in your heart
And I think you can feel mine too
I hold on to our happiness, our fairytale
Because even with the evil witches and storms in our lives
I believe in happiness

Too many people are too quick to wish 'forever' with a person. I'm not saying planning a future with someone is a bad thing, all I'm saying is know the person, really know the person, know who they actually are on the inside, when all the doors are closed and all the weight of the world is gone, know who they are at that moment. Don't plan a future with someone you don't know because if it doesn't work out then you set yourself up for heartbreak. If it ends, not only did you lose the person you love but you also lost your future, your plans, who you thought you'd be and you become lost. Again, I'm not saying don't plan a future with someone you love because it's a beautiful thing and you really should, all I'm saying is don't plan a future with someone who you don't know their views of life, their intentions (especially towards you), their beliefs, what they'd die for, who they'd cry for, who they want to be and how they invision their life. Everyone is wishing for fairytales and happily ever after but you are not Cinderella and one night and a glass slipper won't guarantee forever (or happiness). Happily ever after is earned, you know the person and you love the person and you have gone through **** with the person and you would pick them on their bad days and their good. You would pick them on cheerful days and on days where they're curled up in a ball, crying and feeling like their whole life is falling apart. If you aren't willing to go through hell for a person, no questions asked then save yourself the heartbreak and don't plan anything. Some people are meant to be in your life short term, they're only there to help you learn and grow into the person you're meant to become, they're there to help mold your heart into the perfect shape so it fits just right into your happily ever after's. Not everyone should and would be in your life forever. Learn the difference and prioritise appropriately.

becareful Cinderella
your sisters want your fella
there is no umbrella
for the amount of years
you'll spend in tears
Sleeping beauty, keep on dreaming
Don't wake up to princes scheming
you'll find yourself lost in things not worth believing
Ariel, adhere to the truth
don't trade the Ocean for feeling blue
You shouldn't have to change who you are
If the man is really for you
Repunzel, don't let down your hair
be your own hero, let that dragon know you're not scared
Snow white be wise with whom you dabble
better to starve than eat from rotten apples
those dwarves are small but they're your brothers
let them help you re-discover
all the things about yourself
you won't learn from a prince or someone else
Jasmine listen
has anyone mentioned
better to have a man thats smitten
then a man who's simply full of riches
Belle be aware with the beast
he is only half a man to say the least
Tiana don't you find it odd
that your kiss could make him a prince
instead of instruction from God
oh the fairy tales we tell
do not buy what they try to sell
you're better off without that loan
finance your thinking on your own
what you produce will be better for your story
and worth hearing if it includes God getting the glory...

*Honestly I’m too caught up in you to even function sometimes.
People ask me if I’m okay because I have tunnel vision confined
To a place where I never look back and never resign.
But I can barely make out their words
When your song keeps singing in my head,
And stringing the thread of your heart to mine.
As it pulls without tearing enough to flatline,
While taking you in
To a “Once upon a time” world beneath my skin.
Where the sun kisses you every chance you look away,
And the moon cradles you as if someday you’ll never get older.
Because with you, time never wants to move but carry
Your everlasting stokes of color made from sweet berries.
On a canvas that’s trying really hard to sit still when you’re fatal lips ****
Whatever seems to be holding me down.
A piece that compounds beauty on top of brilliance.
Discovering yourself and the meaning of existence.
Like two flames holding hands, never to strand
From the light, they expand to burn down the doors
That others have shut with all their might.
Chasing the tails of fairies to horizonless twilight.
Searching for no end but the means of foresight undressed
When looking ahead I see wings spread from behind your chest
And pull me pressed to the taste of heaven
When I'm close enough touch your breath.
So don’t stop breathing and never stop believing in our laughter
Because every breath we ever share becomes happily ever after.*

Every time I see you, I feel regret, I messed up
And I can’t fix it, because you’re with her and have moved on
I can’t help, but still love you, I don’t want to
But I know that I do, why can’t I move on?
Why did you have to move on to her?
Why’d you have to get your fairytale
When I am alone without her happily ever after moment?
You get yours, she gets hers
It seems like everyone has their
Happily ever moment, except me
And I want mine
No, I deserve mine

Once upon a time
or so the stories say
i was yours and you were mine
and everything was okay
in distance we were apart
and maybe emotionally too
never in my heart
did i think twice about my love for you
it was the fall which carried over to winter
but as the days got warm
again you started talking to her
my heart suddenly torn
you said she was nothing you
and i believed your story
maybe i was naive or just a fool
all you said was "I'm sorry"
more days went past
and you fell for her
I wish I'd seen it coming fast
then your love made a turn
I wasn't close enough for you
you scared little boy
way too honest, too much truth?
I was tossed away as an old toy
now you were tired of being alone
I pity your poor being
you had before never felt home
although my heart was for your keeping
if you hadn't left me in the cold
I thought I'd love you for my whole life
I would never have known
that all this was one simple lie
now here our story ended
you're okay and you have her
you saw where this tale was headed
for me there's no happily ever after

come to me.
to the floor where i kneel
in front of you.
follow me- pay attention close
and bend.
your will.
your beliefs,
your promises.
your boundaries.
your comfort.
follow me with your stare as i slither back above the floor.
and crawl over
your expectations
your judgments
your rehearsed words
dripping like drool from a baby's lip.
delight, devine
as i slide off this good girl's skin
contain your
greed
disbelief
desire while i
take you up mountains in your mind, lover.
i raise you from the center of the sky.
while i blind you with lust
'till you feel silken places inside-
so fragile they will tear
ill bring the goblet to your mouth sir-
with the richest ruby reds slither down your throat as if it were alive.
oh yes, we will climb,
feel the mount behind us holding us up... wind up so high must be stealing our breath
I will give you touch, lover.
the kind you never found in all your searches.
the kind the does the touching with it's shadow not it's skin
and the shadow dances to tickle in the most promising of places.
yes ill give you whispers up here-bounce them around
like a helium star
slowly whisper here, bouncing, slowly whisper there.
rake what used to be my fingers....
now though they are sticks from the forest bound together to
glide through your silky hair and leave their beautiful pine scent.
come to me, and share old magic
just a baby of the woods-
lay you on a bed of branches
cold leaves, borough in your naked skin...
bring to me now your empty pallet
and fill my sorrow with your fight.
sahn.

All the once upon a time stories that end in happily ever after have the flawless handsome Prince charming who meets the sweetest princess or young maiden who becomes a princess after they marry (typically approximately 12 to 18 hours or so after they meet usually because the sweet young lady was rescued by the Prince because she was singing randomly and dancing around with woodland animals who do her laundry and she fell off of a tower or was attacked by some lady who literally has no job but spends her entire life just being evil for the sake of being evil and yet never starves to death despite the fact that her evil plots never actually allow her to aquire money or food of any sort.)
The girl is always polite
Everyone loves her
She usually has a waistline tinier than a flowerstem
And she sees the good in everyone
She is also gorgeous 100% of the time
Well I am NOT that girl
I can't alwaye be polite and perfect
I can't even be pretty
There are more people that hate me than there are people who can even tolerate me
I'm not the likable easy going type
I don't have a three inch waist (mainly because that is completely insane)
I can't find a way to like every person
I'm the jealous ugly stepsister Anastasia in Cinderella
I'm the wicked witch in the wizard of Oz
I'm the wolf in the three little pigs
I'm the hag in snow white and the seven dwarves
I'm not the princess in the story
But fortunately, I don't need to be because life is not a fairytale
And you don't need to be prince charming
Hell, you don't even need to be anything like the lists I make about what my dream guy should be like
Because really, since when do I know what I actually want?
I certainly am always wrong about what I need
So here's the deal
You love me for me, be loyal, care about me because of my soul first and my looks having nothing to do with it, you give me eternity,
And I promise you the same.
I don't need you to catch me when I fall off a tower
That doesn't really happen much
I need you to catch the little pieces of me when I fall apart because the emotions were all too much
I don't need a happily ever after
And you don't need to be prince charming
Because I am not a princess
Repost if you are not a princess either
Please comment I love to read interpretations of my work and really any other thoughts you may have! :)

Nothing is certain anymore.
I used to know: I miss knowing.
I had decided he was the one.
Forever. For ever. Everlong. Everlast.
But it wasn’t everlasting.
And now?
I’ve lost the partner to my dream.
Begin again. Start once more. All over.
New introductions: new dynamics
It’s all different.
Unsettling.
Exciting – I’m thrown off balance.
Soo much to learn.
What’s beneath the ripply surface?
Open up, prise to sunlight; I must see.
Figure: are you the new ‘one’?
A replacement?
A new dream. A new adventure.
A thousand ways to see the world.
Perspective dominates so much.
I think we come from similar mind
- But unless you speak I cannot be certain.
“What’re you thinking?”
“Mmm… I don’t know”
It’s a gap
Between thought and mouth
- I’ve been there, I’ve felt it.
We need to build a bridge.
‘Put your trust in me, I’m not gonna die alone’
I don’t want to. Not alone.
I need someone to accompany me.
I want a family.
Who?
It feels like time to settle in.
Who?
I’m tired of this game
This uncertainty
Either let me be alone
- Impossible for me, I know:
I ***** too much up when I’m single.
Yet there should be growth there.
- Then let me be with the one.
I know there is no perfection.
But imperfections may compliment.
I know it takes work.
Communication.
Sacrifice.
Energy.
Time.
I know difference must be respected.
I know connection is of most importance
- Or perhaps a close second to support.
And love.
But love grows.
Even arranged marriages fall into love.
Why not choose?
The one with the traits
The dynamic that is desired
Love will come
It always does in the end
So long as resentment does not dominate
The dynamic is soo important!
And the lifestyle
- What am I willing to give up?
What does he desire?
I’m over this dizzying romance game.
I’m throwing the towel in.
If not him, then someone else close by.
Because I’ve always had too many options.
And before that made me scared:
Given urge to ‘play the field’
Taste all within range.
Now, now, I am tired.
It’s nice to know someone’s intimacy
Exploring beneath the cloak:
Let me in, let me in, let me in.
I know it takes time
Let me in, let me in, let me in.
But trust me. Please?
Let me in, let me in, let me in.
Coz ****** I’m letting you in.
And ****** I want to show you my world.
And to see yours.
And when we escape this place,
Maybe just for a day or two,
But when we do,
It’s fricken beautiful
And we’re beautiful
And I know that.
Please. I want to fall into love.
Why not with him?

Mirror, mirror on the wall.
Who'll catch me when I fall?
Mirror, mirror I knew this man,
I hear his voice and I feel like ****
Mirror, mirror everytime he laughs
I just can't explain how he give me crafts.
Mirror, mirror whenever he speaks
I feel like I'm on clouds at its peak.
Mirror, mirror he gives me butterflies
He keeps me happy and never let me cries.
Mirror, mirror he send me shivers
Its overflowing just like other rivers.
Mirror, mirror this is something new
I hope this won't fade and forever please be true.
Mirror, mirror he said he loves me
He'll never hurt me he guarantee.
Mirror, mirror he said I'm all his
With those three words I feel bliss.
Mirror, mirror on his bended knee
He hold my heart and there's no escapee.
Mirror, mirror forever is for fantasy
So that means lifetime is for reality.
Mirror, mirror my heart beats,
If this ain't forever please delete.
Mirror, mirror remove my doubt and my fear
With this man that's gentle and truly sincere.
Mirror, mirror give me my happily ever after
Let me write my own love story and be the master.

And the rain is falling
Making music off the roofs of the cars
And we stand there
In the steam rising from the
Parking lot pavement
Shadows made from
Alarmed headlights
First, still
Then, quickly moving
From two separate shapes
To one jumble of limbs
The two of us becoming indistinguishable
As I can’t hold you close enough to me
And after so long waiting
I don't mind
My tears mixing
With the rain
Making our first open-mouthed kiss
Wet and messy
And you tangle your fingers
Into my waterlogged curls

that when you were
39
and i was
37
and we were
still single
we would marry each other
in that church over there
when we got together
we joked that we would be getting married
a lot earlier
than
expected
so why is it now
that the chimes of
"happily ever after"
seem so
far
away

She pictures millions of scenarios
Under the pouring rain
Or with a sunset view
It doesn’t matter
As long as you’re back
Because she was convinced
You were her happily ever after
