Fairytales Do Come True

Once upon a time,
I used to believe in
Wishes…

That fairytales were real,
And princes lived around
The corner.

It would only be a matter
Of time
Before one would come
Riding up to
My ivory tower.

Sweep me off my feet
And carry me away.

Your chariot was silver,
And it was magic—
It breached the walls
Of my loneliness
And proved my
Dreams were real.
