Ever

You were ever after me...

you bounced me on your knee, and

swung me through the trees,

you said I was a tease.



You were ever after pleased...

that I could meet your needs, and

when our "little secret" bleeds,

you claim I am diseased.



Snow White no longer wakes up,

The kingdom isn't filled with laughter,

Cinderella doesn't find her shoe,

You stole my happy ever after.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

To all who've had their childhoods stolen from them.

To dream is but to dream...and no one could ever steal a happy ever after... This is written well and the form is nice.
