Forever, He Said

Someone once told me forever, 

Never did I realize the ties it would sever.

Like a fairy tale, he told.

Never did I realize the hell it would hold.  

It won't be hard, it can right.

Never did I realize the fight.

Fairy tales are for children

When meanings can be hidden.

I know better, I am no sleeping beauty.

I have a life, I have my duty.  

Now I know when to stop.

Now I understand the life I must top.

Not for me, I shouted.

This attack on my heart won't be allowed.  

It can't work, our lives are two.

I know it, I know you.

Leave me be, let me go.

I will always love you, I know you know.  

This is my response to real life fairy tales, just in time for Valentine's Day!
