PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I’ve always believed
in fairy tales
and Prince Charmings.

 I believed in true love,
in chivalry and passion,
that it could last forever.

But I was let down,
disappointed,
and deserted.

I now realize
idealism blinded me
from the truth,
that love is nothing
but an illusion.

I’m not so much
a hopeless romantic anymore…
just hopeless.
