Once upon a time,

there was a girl with fire burning on the top of her hair.

So she put it out,

by drowning herself.

Once upon a time,

there was a boy who loved that girl.

But he was too drunk to recall it all.

And when he finally did,

he was one fairy tale too late.

Once upon a time,

she drowned in the lake,

while I drowned in the sadness of my own thought.

No happy ending.

So let's just leave it at that.
