A Fairytale
The fairytale began as one should
true loves own kiss
prince charming conquered the tower
broke the spell with his lips,
woke the princess from her slumber
from her nightmares and her dreams
they fell in love as the story goes
but there the fairytale frayed at the seams.
He wasn't the prince charming
the fairytale was a masquerade
he'd tricked her into this deadly dance
with one kiss she was betrayed.
The dance ran her ragged
but she couldn't stop to breathe
fallen for the magic of his kiss
such a crafted lie he did weave
so that inside her something was screaming
outside she couldn't tell
the hand that he continued to offer
kept her dancing down to hell.
Smiles and another stolen kiss,
keeping those masks in place
until he'd run her all the way down
one more poisonous kiss, then he revealed his face.
He wasn't like she remembered
upon his face a monsters eyes
and upon her lips a metallic taste
from his kisses of bloody lies
inside her mind seemed to split in two
but outside she felt nothing
numbness overtook her senses
inside there was someone new, something.
She watched as the monster ran away
couldn't forget the smile on his face
inside someone begged to the surface
she offered the unknown her place
and she was her perfect image
but in the mirror her edges frayed
she took the place of the princess
their own two person masquerade.
