Love Poem: Typical American Fairytale

Typical American Fairytale

A TYPICAL AMERICAN FAIRYTALE

Whispered, hollow "I want you" s
Screamed, haunted "I loved you" s 
Pleaded, remorseful "Please don't go" s
Murmured, sad "I wish I didn't have to" s

Pulled strings, hearts forced to dance
Unfortunate words, slammed doors that won't open
Forgiven things, never forgotten
Once ripe love, now toxic and rotten

Clutching hands, hidden bruises
Envious glares, stabbing words
Vicious tongues, bared souls
Deadly heartbeats, gasping breaths

Happily never after
