Reel Faerie Tails

Indubitably,
you would die for me
and I would parish for you.
But we dont play that Romeo and Juliet bullshit here,
its best you take that kinda romance somewhere new.
We are nothing if not practical my dear.

Unfathomable
that I could be some damsel
and that you may find my pretty lips again,
but behind every beauty there's a bigger beast
tearing at the whitest knighted men.
Despite the peril, you cause my eternal sleep to cease.

Ruthless
against the best,
and they'll never see us comin'.
But we ain't no modified Bonnie and Clyde, doll.
It takes more than teamwork, tommy-guns, and runnin'.
We've all the passion of classics with power of an original.

I do enjoy the contept as well, it was interesting to behold... and nice to see you breaking the mold... no gender roles. A good flip on old cliches.

I like the concept too... it's a fairly real tail at that. And the format matches the concept well enough.

I can understand what you mean by not exactly loving it but loving the idea : I've written many of those. And while this isn't your strongest piece, it's creative, original and, like you said, the idea behind it is a good one. Definitely an amazing piece of work if you went with the idea a little more and played around with it. I love the narration . The strong, "I'm sorry, but f**k you" personality. Definitely realistic.

It should be a favorite. It is definitely on of mine. Beautiful my dear, there's nothing bad about this piece. The structure and the references are what make it fantastic. The last line is perfect.
