Never a Fairytale

A Poem by Azure Montessa (Blue)

A typical tale of unhappy ending.

He had the eloquence of a poet,

the valor of a knight,

the wisdom of a sage,

and the fortune of a king.

His seeming perfection was a tell-tale,

but I was too crazed to care.

Hi speeches were clever cliches,

his embrace, an enchanted prison,

his love was a lie of lust,

and his kiss, an unforgivable offense.

For when I was still his,

he was never really mine at all.

I was nothing but a fleeting interest;

a remedy for his boredom.

The story has turned sickening sweet,

and passion revealed itself to be a pretense.

He walked away,

head held high in apparent victory,

for he had crushed another dreamer's heart.

And off he went for another thrill,

in search of another damsel.

He left me in my own tower of torment,

writing this pathetic poem,

about him who loved and left.

Our story was my scar,

a typical tale of unhappy ending,

penned in the advent of a heartache,

in the twilight of my dreams.

He was never a prince...

Just another frog in disguise.

And ours was never a fairytale...

That was intense. But true. Too many girls have been taken in by that approach. It give me something to think about. As usual, you are a very talented person. Someone who I would love to meet one day.

An elegant write full of great imagery and sad sentiments of swept heartaches. I like how you point out that even a gentlemen can lose faith in love and leave or just play a game and leave. Thank you for sharing...:)

There is beauty in your words even if they speak of heartache. So much in this world is not what it seems and when we wish with all our hearts that something is real and true that is when we are at our most vulnerable. You've captured the swept away emotions beautifully and with equal skill you have depicted the swept to the curb heartache. You've expressed a lot in this poem with vivid imagery and raw emotion.

Almost everybody can relate to this poem, Blue. True, nowadays there are almost no more gentlemen left in this world and love is being turned to a game. :D

You are welcome..In our story there is always a lot of, or most times truth in it even if it is written in poetry..this is enlightening from a spiritual point of view.

Blue, I've read so many "he broke my heart" tales...But this one stands out from all the rest!!
This is truly elegant in it's beauty...achingly lovely in it's sadness...
If you ask me, this callous lover lost more than he'll ever know...what a fool he was!!

Fabulous write, Blue!!
