Happily Never After

They call us the perfect couple

You, the Prince Charming

I, the damsel in distress

You saved me from my tower

I would have been nothing without you

That’s what you said

Ironic how Mr. Proper doesn’t know shit

About manners

 

While you heroically climbed the towering prison of cracked stone and thick vine

The door was open

You yanked me out of my chamber

And brought me to your castle of gold

You called it our home

Funny how you took me from mine

 

You assumed I wanted to escape

You assumed I was lost, but

I wept for the dragon that you slayed

 

You forced me into

Fitted gowns, polished shoes, but

I would rather be wearing my worn leather boots

 

Not every fairytale is as it seems

Belle was imprisoned by a hideous beast

Jasmine married a lying, poor thief

Ariel was left for a woman who could speak

And Pocahontas was labeled a murderous freak

 

They only tell what they want you to be

Not what you were truly meant to see

So call us your perfect couple if that’s what you want, but

Seriously

Happily ever after my ass
