Childish beliefs in fairy tales
Deaf ears and blind eyes;
Courted by a fraud:
Carried away by his lies.
Naïve trust of rogue
Who became so profane:
So cruel in pursuit of pleasure
A harbinger of pain.
Headlong into disaster
The foolish maid is lain.
The “happily ever after”
A sorrowful refrain.
Purity and trust betrayed
By the fists of rage:
Love turned to ashes
Only a stain of blood remains.
—Kathleen Ellis Faulkner
