A Wicked Tale

A dream world, a fairy tale mold

 Knights in shiny armor, bravery and honor 

 A handsome prince, an ugly toad 

 Winding down fantasy road 

 Lace and satin, silver and gold 

 Lies upon lies, never told 

 Crying in the night, hiding in the light 

 Trying to escape the hellish fright 

 Living a nightmare, the lonely stare 

 Looking in the mirror, but nothing’s there 

 Seeking for reasons, finding all fault 

 Crying tears, tasting the salt

 A white picket fence, an all-knowing sense 

 Living a life of false pretense 

 Dried up grass, tarnished brass 

 Running, but you will not pass 

 All the questions, time-consuming deceptions 

 Never attending ballroom receptions 

 A razor blade, a jet black spade 

 Sleeping in the bed you made 

 When will it end? Will I ever mend? 

 Must I continue my lying trend?

"Looking in the mirror, but nothing’s there

Seeking for reasons, finding all fault

Crying tears, tasting the salt."
Those are my favorite lines in this nice poem...:)
