Ah February...

Since it's February, the great month of Valentine's Day, I thought I'd post this last poem of mine. It's more personal to me than the others, so I like it...plus it trashes Prince Charming, which is just cool. Anywho, M, if you got my e-mail, then you probably already read this, but I'm posting it anyway. More Valentine's Day poems will likely be written, but will any of them be happy and romantic? Nope! :D (don't get me wrong though, I have nothing against love, it just hasn't found me yet)

Here it is: Happily Never After

It’s too late for
You and your white horse
To come around.
So return your costume
And take back that pony.

Don’t offer me love,
For it’s worthless to me now.
I’ve made my bed,
I’ve done my job,
And I’ve done it all without you.

I used to watch for you
From my castle window,
Praying someone such as you
Could save me from
This tower I’ve created.

Now I see I was
Only a fool,
A naïve little girl who was
Blinded by the desires of her heart,
Though not anymore.

Take that glass slipper away,
For surely it can’t be mine.
Mine shattered long ago
When you did not come
And troubles lingered far and wide.

Some stories are meant only for books.
I’m sick of these fairies,
I’m sick of these tales,
And I’m sick of your false promises
And stupid assumptions.

I’ve slayed my own dragons,
I’ve fought my own battles.
Though I cannot complain.
I’ve done what I’ve had to
To make it through the day.

I know you’re sad,
And I don’t expect you to understand,
But here it is plain and simple:
This is me
And my happily never after.
*end*

Oh, and something to look forward to (or cry about, either way): in Creative Writing we're going to write songs (which I thoroughly suck at), but I have an idea for a song called Broken Lullaby. It will be fairly dark/sad and will be about Katana. I'm excited! XD We'll see how it turns out though. O_O'
