Once upon a time…

14 Dec

Prince Charming trots up on a black horse
Swoops down, kills the fairy godmother,
and rides into the sunset with the evil stepsister
Betraying and breaking Cinderella’s heart.

There are no happy endings to this fairytale,
No matter how much you wish or hope for one.
Fairy godmothers died out,
once upon a time

    Despite being slightly disheartening, I have to admit I enjoyed this piece :)

      Thank you! I actually felt like there should be more to this piece than where I ended it, but your comment is much appreciated. :)

    Ha! Probably not much scarier than some of the old Grimm’s Fairytales.. LOL

    This reminds me of a (much longer rambling) poem I wrote a while back too… if interested: http://samanthamariahjane.wordpress.com/2009/10/02/better-not-to-believe
