The Fairy Tale

 A young girl's dream,

no longer in her grasp,

now left with memories

of a love that did not last.

Carrying the baggage

through many years,

with sleepless nights

and quiet tears.

Deep within -

she hides the bruises,

of shattered hopes,

and smothered fuses.

Longing for the fairy tale,

that slowly slipped away,

she visits the place

where her broken heart lays.  ~  msc
