wishing on stars

there was a time when i believed in

horrible stepmothers and

wicked witches; i forgot about

fairy godmothers forgot the rainbows 

forgot the shooting stars forgot the magic carpets

forgot magic itself

.forgot prince charmings

i believed everything i did would be

chaotic from the moment my

heart had

dismantled

and every minute was

midnight when

carriages turned into

stupidfuckingpumpkins and

dreams were destroyed

i spent too long stuffing myself with

poison apples and pressing my finger on

spinning wheels

finding reasons better than his to why

i was insignificant

there was a time when i forgot my name and

spent hours in front of mirrors

wondering what went wrong;

there was a time i thought all was lost

.then you found me
