Fairy Tales Are Dead

Whatever happened to those fairy tales?
Those wandering brave knights,
Cinderella and her Prince; Juliet and her Romeo.
Who killed those wondrous nights
spent at a castle keep?
When did the spirit of true love die?
What happened to true-love's kiss, to wake you from your sleep?
Replaced, instead, with Why?
That fairy tale spirit which haunted the past,
has been destroyed, and cannot last.
Goodbye to the spirit, goodbye to the fire
which fueled the flame of haunting desire.
Lascivious love has been killed, uncouth
Destroyed forever by infamous truth.
