Broken Fairy Tale (Love Poems)

Written by: Arena Phaphilom

Young Fairy Tales
All those Disney films
of love
of being happily ever after
And finding Prince Charming
Formed all the fantasies – Dreams
That once filled young girls’ minds

It’s so funny now
As a teenager
With a young girls’ mind
Seeking to fulfill fairy tales
only to find
HEART BREAK

 

Scars
You know it’s there
It’s something you feel
You don’t see it
It won’t go away

It hurts
You push it to the side
Ignore it

Unacknowledged the pain until
It comes back – it’s not really there

It never existed
It never hurt
It never happened

Its always going to be a scar.

 

Untitled
Carrying the weight of the world
All four walls closing in on me
Remnants of you everywhere
Everything we had, wish I could get it back
Promises, Dreams, and my Heart – All Broken
Left Alone

The Fundamentals of a Broken Heart
