Lost.

And you thought it would
Last?
Romantic! Worse!
Naive! No?

Sprouting from same the earth
Nurtured by the same
Light
But who knew which species?

You thought all were to
Cherish such nostalgia?
Darkness
Is a greater appeal!

You think they would allow you
In to share the morning worm?
Bah!
Think again!

We are all kings and queens,
Dukes and dutchesses,
Nobility
Of avarice and greed!

You say what?
Hope? Goodness?
Dignity? Chivalry?
Sure. Pull out
The dusty fairy tales.
Sure.

And you thought it would
Last?
Romantic! Worse!
Naive! No?

No. Naivety carries no such
Conviction as you do;
No such tears of despair
Wept for this barren earth;
No such hope
Of the rebirth.

Till "happy ever after",
It won't last.
