Why is it that a heart can break?
It’s an organ for Pete’s sake!
A metaphor you say?
To explain why it’s socially acceptable,
To cry yourself to sleep,
Over someone that never loved you anyways?
My insincere apologies my dear,
I’d rather not.

Falling in love is just a phrase used to often,
The word is just another word in the dictionary
But is the most abused word in history
Designed to make us believe in fairytales

Lock yourself in a kingdom far, far away,
Until your mom calls you down for breakfast
Wake up Sleeping Beauty!
You are never going to be Cinderella,
Get ready for school,
Not the royal ball.
Glass slippers aren’t in the wardrobe.
I’m sorry Prince Charming,
Your white horse won’t fit through the door.

Why do we ‘fall in’ love
Like Alice ‘fell into’ Wonderland
We act like Mad Hatter
In the end someone always gets hurt
After all the Queen of Hearts said:
“Off with her head!”
