Fairy Tales End

 

If you cry for me and fall apart...
Does it mean I have forever stolen your heart?
Will it make me the keeper of your soul?
If every time I walk away ... you never know,
.... how to let me go?

What does it make me then,
if for you the tears..
I rarely shed?
The time, the distance... only builds within..
the strength and reassurance...
that this was never what we thought it was,
.... fairy tales end,
and are rarely true Love.

I never stole your heart .... because I never
claimed it as mine... you gave it away..
into vacant space hoping in mine is where it would find...
find a place to take root and build a home...
but the landing never came... the roots never grew..
now it is time ...
time for it to come floating back to you.

I can no longer be the keeper of your soul,
holding pieces to make them whole...
Living lies to keep you free...
free from heartbreaks destiny.
please...  ahhh please...
one day forgive me...
for I need to just leave.
