~~~Fairy Tale~~~

A short poem about a story I never got to share.

Can you see it?
Would you permit?
Would you hear my plea?
If you saw what I see?

A story I know would astound
In a book so elegantly bound
Do you see why I plead?
It's in a language you weren't born to read

Maybe if you listen- just hear one word.
What was it that you just heard?
Was it from what I just read?
Or was it from what I have bled?

Would you understand this tale?
Oh God, every moment is so frail.
Torn between the words on the page
And the soul locked in its cage.

Would you listen to hear me shout?
Even this I start to doubt
I don't think you'll ever hear
From the tale I hold so dear

My heart it cries for you to know
But the truth is starting to show
This truth I hate but I can't deny
The story I seek starts to die

It's not your fault I cannot blame
I was never meant to win this game
The barrier is too thick to blend
No matter how the story is penned

It's not a tale for you to share
No matter how my heart laid bear
I'll keep the book but I need to move on
And look for another way to Dawn
