A Fairytale I Fear and Dream of Living

Take my hand and let’s get out of here

this castle was never our home, 

but we like to pretend to belong,

there was just some extra room

for two lost souls who thought 

they had found heaven.

We ran for too long, it was getting dark

so we made up a fairytale and called it a day

that crown was always too heavy 

I broke my neck just watching you wear it.

We never said much, 

sitting in comfortable silence always felt enough

words weren’t worthy to carry what needed to be said,

all it took was one glance

and we got what was going on in each other’s minds

I saw the spark in your eyes and I knew it was time to run
that it is time to grab your hand and never look back,

You said: “I remember the last time I saw my mother, she joked  that i would jump into fire if you asked me to, I bet she forgot that I’m not brave enough, that I’d only do it if you held my hand and jumped with me”
