DISISIETE
Consider this my very first heartbreak
When I find out that fairytales are not true
That every story that starts out with "Once upon a time.."
Doesn't always end with "Happily ever after"
Reality is too brutal for happily ever afters
Consider this my very first heartbreak
When I come to learn that true love isn't so sweet
And relationships are of bitterness and grief
As they are of happiness and dreams
Love is more about bitterness and grief
Consider this my very first heartbreak
When I discover that friends are not forever
That after a year, a decade, they seem unbreakable
Then everything just falls apart
Some friendships just fall apart
Consider this my very first heartbreak
When I realize that the life I pictured when I was younger
Was far from what I'm seeing now
That the world isn't at all about my utopic dreams
Life is too cruel for my utopic dreams.
