There Is No Such Thing As Happily Ever After

By Killerdemonchick

And the charming prince
He kissed her rosy red lips
When he pulled away he did wince
For the blood near her lips did start to drip
His princess does not awake
Instead she stays still
He feels his heart start to break
He cries out her name, the cry so shrill
He kisses her dead body again
But she does not wake
The prince lets tears slowly fall from his eyes which showed his pain
Then he left her body because he realised that happily ever afters were actually fake.

  • A former member wrote: I like it... a twisted tale. twisted because its the way it should be... making me think, what is the more twisted version? Great write...

  • A former member wrote: Good write.. I like how the prince is.. Pretty much left to deal with it.. How he hoped on her so much he cried when he realized how messed up reality actually is.. Nice write
