LUST

you and i, we are like the ending of a fairytale:
hopeful and too beautiful to be true.
i’m not blind, i know this won’t last,
because red riding hood didn’t get her grandmother back,
and cinderella’s life at the castle was anything but magical.
belle didn’t see the prince’s monstrous heart,
and ariel’s longing for the sea drove her into madness.

so, no, i won’t be fooled by sweet words and youthful moments.
i know this won’t last, because this is real life and no storybook,
because when you asked me who my favourite princess is my answer was the wicked queen.

like red riding hood you won’t get your loved one back by being with me, she’s gone and while i may look like her i won’t ever be her.
like prince charming i’m not the person i seem to be, i just fight for what i want.
like belle you don’t see behind my smiles and laughter, i’ve become good at hiding my true nature.
and it seems like ariel my longing for love will drive me into my downfall.
