Story Never Told (Free verse) by Sirens_Voice
I remember the fairy tales
the ones that all little girls know.
The ones with the princesses
and the love that conquered all.
But in my fairy tale
love is a myth.
It doesn't conquer everything.
In my reality
he isn't my prince.
I'm not his precious
and that is something I have to live with.
The once upon time
came and went
only lasted for a few moments
giving me tears of what could have been.
The happily ever ending
never came
the story just stopped
and I'm stuck in the pages.
I don't know what fairy tale I'm stuck in.
I know this isn't Cinderella
but I am ignored.
This isn't Snow White
for I don't know any dwarfs.
I know it's not Beauty
for the beast isn't here.
My love isn't like those fairy tales.
For they have their princes
They have been saved
but my love never came
and my world is turning gray.
I want to see true love
to know that he cares.
But my prince charming isn't here
and I don't think he cares.
In my tale
the princess will die.
Not of murder
but of wishing for something that was a complete lie.
In my story the happy ending doesn't occur
it ends with
the princess crying in her room
as the pages end
and the book is closed.
My fairy tale
is one that parents don't tell
because it's the truth
and not some happy fairy tale.
