'Til the Last Lyric

Once upon a time…
There was a little girl who believed in fairy tales and happily ever afters.
Hoping. Praying. Waiting…For her prince to come.
Together they’d conquer the world. Slaying dragons, demons, and villains. Until her Prince Charming let his demons prevail. She cried and begged and prayed.
She hated him. She loved him. She couldn’t save him.
“I’m sorry.”
“I love you.”
Were five words she despised more than anything. Her fairy tale had become her worst nightmare. She didn’t know how much more she could take. She didn’t know love could turn into hate. There were so many things she didn’t know.
Especially, how to tell him, “No.”
