A/N: Heyo, me again. ^^;


Fairy Tales

If life were a dream, a fairy tale,
Where it starts, 'once upon a time,'
And amid the toil and blood and tears,
There's always, 'happily ever after.'

And it is unreal and irrational;
Death is simple, and a way of life.
When you loose something dear,
Not always do you find again.

The crystal staircase of life is hope;
A hope spurned by the naive.
Because crystal is a fantasy,
And there are always broken floorboards.

And a promise, heartfelt or forced,
Are in truth, not always kept.
Because words are illusions, not real,
And they fall delicate like the autumn leaf.

Serenading your love on their lawn
Will not always bring desired effects.
Rather, it shall bring you thrown items,
Via the residents who wish for peace.

And in the fairy tales, the hero will ride,
And face monsters and look death in the eye.
And they will always, always come back,
Because in fairy tales, heroes always, always win.

And in fairy tales, there is hope,
Heroes with extraordinary, undying hope.
And if here we had that hope,
Then life may just yet be fairy tale.
