Sorry, Reality Already Has My Heart

An act.
A play.
A simple lie.
Yeah, I know,
You thought we
Were brought together
By fate.

But, honey, you have
Another thing comin'
To ya.

You're the only one
Who believes in these
Fairy tale endings,
Because reality has already
Slithered its clammy
Tentacles around my ankle.
And there is no going back
To children's fantasies.

Not for me.
