No Happily Ever After

2006

Every story that I've read
Every poem that I've written
There is always a happily ever after
What if that was all gone
And all that was left was nothing?
Will everyone still end up okay? 
Will there be redemption?
What if the world was over? 
How will everything begin
And how will every beginning finish?
Just ask yourself... If this was true,
Will everything be the same?
