Wild Horses

Wild Horses

his glass slipper met her midnight

and the carriage held but one

she danced away from his logic

and now the jack-o-lanterns flicker

memories in and out

the Ball is over,

and she's gone home

to someone else

he's still trying to catch a glimpse

of himself in her arms

before he forgot all the steps

before he

...forgot.

Those memories...as they flicker in and out, we somehow blot out the bad ones. We had a picture in our hearts and heads....one that we thought we last forever. Then time got in the way and the rest is history. Yup, we forget the steps....unfortunately. Lydi**

Artie Shaw once wrote a book called "The Trouble With Cinderella", coming to the conclusion that pretty much no one lives happily ever after--and so this, as our decidedly non-Disney lives rarely come with convenient glass footwear. You have tightly encapsulated the less well-shod reality.
