Love Lies?

A poem.

Viva Amor

Those stories they tell you growing up seem
only to laugh in my face these days;

The truth of life and love have smacked me
across my forgotten smile;

Tales of romance and joy escape their prison
I held in my mind;

Releasing the ideas I was fed my whole life
has led me to despair;

Keeping me questioning if I’ll every find my fairytale
or if those words were all lies.
