the illusion of fairytales

fairytales

I am a hopeless romantic
as a kid i believed in fairy tales
the ones where true love existed
where there was always a happy ending

now that i'm grown up
i can see the the truth,
the truth that fairytales are fake
that life isn't like that

my inner child doesn't want to believe this
it craves that fantasy
the idea of unconditional love between two people
i seek it in all my relationships
but every time i'm let down
and a piece of me is taken,
taken with every heartbreak
because of this,
my hope is starting to grow slim
but my heart aches for this love
