I Never Expected to be Lost in a Storybook I Never Read
I keep searching for poetry
In places like reality
Where rhymes just don't exist
The hero doesn't get the girl
He doesn't ever save the world
There's no stories in our midst
I'm stuck inside a character
I made to match these lines
She feeds all of my fantasies
She takes over my life
The typing drums an anthem
As we near the end of the chapter
We begin to approach the line
As all that was broken
Starts to mend
The subtle words I've always feared,
'The End'
