Far From A Fairy Tale

You dream us
A beautiful life
Worthy of  fairy tale status
You, a humble King
I... your Queen

But once alone
You- I
In our lonely,cold castle
Nothing's farther from
Reality

    1. People sometimes see what they want to see... not what really is. Thanks Brian for taking the time to stop by!

  2. Ah, I think there are a lot of lives like this....from the outside we only see the 'castle,' but inside the castle there is an empty shell!

  3. Oh this one does have a hard ending. So sad when the castle is but a shell.

  8. Sometimes, unfortunately, this is the reality and there isn't a fairy tale ending. I like how you captured so much feeling in your poem.
