i'm sick of all the lies about
the fairy tales
your goddamned happily
ever after
bunk and hogwash
i used to wait for that
fucking prince you swore
would save me
well then where was he
when i was slitting my
wrists, and why
didn't he hold me
when i cried
when i mixed poisons
and crawled
on the living room floor
thinking i was dying
when i prayed to the porcelain gods
when i fertilized
the cemeteries with my blood
where the fuck was he
playing his video games
or getting stoned
an imaginary thing
a lie no one bothered to rescind,
like they would about the tooth fairy
they leave the important questions hung
in the air, loud and unanswered.
