Oh poor Geppetto what ever happened to thee
locked in your mind without the right key
Longing for a crust of bread and a glass of wine
The woods are where the bad things happen, they said
Where the evil goes
To celebrate its victories
To dance with hungry wolves
I don't believe in happily ever after.
I don't believe in Santa.
I don't believe in love.
I didn't choose to be this way
I didn't choose false hope.
Ever since I was a child it was
There was once a time in a far off place
A town sat about a strange, but not unfamiliar, monolith
Stood there a palace built on hate and waste
This poem can be read from the first to last line (beginning events to end results) or last to first line (end results to beginning events)
Once upon a time
Red looking so good was her only committed crime
Sitting on her throne, the Queen admired the empire she had built for herself.
Cinderella,
met a lame fella,
who couldn’t remember her face.
He relied on a shoe,
to find you know who…
What a disgrace!
Poor Cinderella didn’t know,
they had left the window open
with only a thin blanket
to cover them in the night
and so, the cold overtook them
when you told the Darlings
Once upon a time
There was a Dime
And it had a heart that grew
As big and as wide
As the Ocean Blue.
What became of that heart
