You Are Not Mistaken

You are not mistaken,
You wanted deception and now you are deceived,
Betrayed by fairy tales
Or could it be, you betrayed them?
You built your castle in the dark, in the shade
Where the sun could not dry the roof after the rain,
Crumpling, rotting and collapsing
On your insufferable dreams.
You are not mistaken,
Sanctity has fled, despite your demure sighs.
The livestock could not resist the violets in your garden
Planted so near your pride and joy,
Their droppings, sanctity for the flies
That now devote themselves to your emotions
And buzz your lullabies.
You are not mistaken,
My devotion was left to rust,
In the shed where all my talents were solemnly strewn
So that they would never awaken
Your Sleeping Beauty.
