I read long ago
Simple and false
The best one ever told
I remember it clearly
Though things fade away
Time cannot take it
It has a lasting quality
It was an adventure
A saga of sorts
A prince and a princess
Rode on a white horse
The ending was happy
As most endings are
The confusion wasn't there
It had gone away far
And I lived my whole life
In a confused blur
Never knew right
From the story or world
Never wanting to admit
Victory or defeat
Got called a lot of things
Wore a lot of crowns
Dropped them all
I like to play my game
Everyone has their own
Mine is to find something
Love it and lose it
It's an easy game
No rules and no rhyme
Much like the story
Pretty people
Fair and right
Injustice not there
Broken hearts deserve broken hearts
But no story ever says
Misery loves company
