New poem.
No More
Once upon a time
Sitting on my nose
Glasses, Rose Tinted
Alas, no more.
Year after year
I see more truth
Escaping my naivety
And growing up
Heart of stone?
Perhaps
Not caring anymore?
More than likely
Once upon a time,
I held you most high
Thought you did no wrong
Now, the song has changed.
You told me to grow up
And take matters seriously.
I do aim to please
Remember, deep in your heart.
Remember, you asked for this
Remember, you told me this
So, I close the book now
No more once upon a times.
No more happy endings.
No more, my dear. No more.
Poignant reminder of getting what you wish for.
