The Chronicled Episode of DisenchantmentA Poem by Raven HeldThe Chronicled Episode of Disenchantment
Those fabled tears Bleeding From tales in your head – Who killed that fabled smile of yours And wiped the glistening blood off the blade? That little girl Standing there with her candy – What is the price of her innocence In this wicked world of thieves? The poor damsel Waiting to be saved someday – How does she know How long it’ll take Before she is snatched away? That old lady Rocking calmly in her seat – Wondering: How can I steal back The fading ghosts of thine youth’s eve? The charted days That bleed from chronicled tears – Who carved a map on your sweet face, And ran away with your fairytale?
