Simple Ending

written in the aftermath of divorce


I imagined my life a fairy tale,
Believed I could will it so
I desired to be in love with you
In my mind, I created it all

But, in the end, a bitter fallacy
Far removed from my fairy tale dream
Your shining armor now rusty
Your gallant steed, a broken down car

Enjoyed this write...sad but true many have found that their fairy tales ended much the same. Cleverly written.
Blessings,

I love the starkness of this, powerful statements made in these few lines.

Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
