Fanciful Fairy Tales

[Junebear]

Hope you guys like it wrote it on a very long bus ride lol.

We all dream, putting words to the wind.
One day hoping to end the last chapters of our book with love.
Common is the hidden thought that happy endings are scarce.
It is known but not remembered until realized.
Not everyone can be the lucky fool with a princess.

We can go years secretly hoping for true love.
True is not always the love,
But we would like to think we are the wise.
Believing love is true doesn’t make it truthful,
Loving someone with all your heart isn’t that magical.

What is magical is when two people can give everything.
Few people can as the past is as twisted as the future,
But still we hope that what we dream of is real.
Reality is that shock you feel in your heart,
When you realize you can never be that person Noah.

You like many others were background characters to their stories.
You always thought it possible for prince charming to be you,
Always believing that nothing can take you away from her.
At least until her real fairy tail love comes back.
Back from his nap to build the dramatic tension,
Heightening the sound of the shattering.
Shattering that fills your ears,
When your heart hits the floor.

Yeah, I like your observations on the disconnect between the fairy tale and real life.

Whoa, the last two lines really added a ton of volume to the whole thing, capturing how reality shatters, suddenly and painfully, our dreams of 'happily ever after'. This is very sad, and very ponderous which ... kind of makes me feel as though the broken heart has already been accepted, the loss of hope has been accepted - which makes it, in turn, that much more painful. The first stanza was my favorite - "putting words to the wind" - lovely.
