Happiness is like a butterfly<br /> The more you chase it<br /> The more it will elude you<br /> But if you turn your attention to other things<br /> It will come and sit softly on your shoulder. - Henry David Thoreau

I used to believe in
dreams and miracles
The lingering touch of warmth
Diverting all that wished to invade
My soul with a numbing cold
I used to believe in forever
But with each broken promise
Forever quickly degrades into rags
From rags to riches
Each pure piece of “always” and “forever”
Is stained black by oblivion
I used to believe in happily ever afters
But we never remember
The roots of fairy tales
Every rose has a thorn
And life is a Brothers Grimm tale
