Day Thirty - Farewell...

The final day of NaPoWriMo. The prompt today was to choose a line from one of the authors that participated and use it as an inspiration. But there were just too many to choose from - so I did the free-style once again.

I would like to thank all the prompters. I wish I could have used them all, but my mind has been predominantly elsewhere this month. Hopefully  next year I can write some happier material.

Congrats to all the participants! We did a hell of a job!

Fairy Tales

I need to love you

to keep my sanity

  (what little I have left).

These emotions seemed like

   a fairy tale

that would never have

a happy ending.

I've heard this story only once before,

   and never thought I'd hear it again.

But when I saw you

I heard the words

   "Once upon a time...."

My heartbeat quickened

and then the emotions

that I thought were buried

resurfaced.

It's a different place

and a different time,

but this fairy tale too,

is destined for

  an unhappy ending
