Life Isn't Always A Fairytale

Blood burns like fire across ice-white skin,
Melding into softest stone until pure snow becomes tainted,
Seven dwarfs are no-where to be found as she chews her poison slowly,
Savouring in the acid sting that travels across her tongue and slips down her throat,
Strangling her from the inside out as she chokes on her own truth.

Time turns to stone as she is frozen in the loneliness,
Love and magic disappear to leave behind torn rags and bare feet,
Her heart is heavy inside her chest and filled with the hateful words from those around her,
Walking across broken cobbles to match her tainted soul,
Dragging her smashed pumpkin across the dirty floor.

The Beast reflects inside her mirror as she wipes her mouth clean,
Rose's prickled with thorns that swipe across her zebra skin and down her acid throat,
Dancing plates float around and taunt the thing she wants the most,
The Beast is trapped inside her newly empty stomach,
And he growls louder and louder as she doesn't give in.

Flame red hair matches striped lines on her left forearm,
She drowns herself under the waves of regret,
Wishing for that voice to speak up and be heard,
Twisted and tricked by the demon inside until she has lost it all,
Only gaining more places to scar with a three edged sword.

She tumbles through her rabbit hole,
Sucked inside so deep she can't escape,
Looking for a quick salvation to get away from unwanted dreams,
Swallowing down all she sees to find the right solution,
As she grows smaller and smaller to a place where she no longer matters.


The prince never comes, and there is no Happily Ever After.
