Happily Ever After

You know in my dreams
Everything always goes differently
Books and movies have poisoned our minds
Into believing in Happily Ever After

The question remains at hand
What exactly happens when you get what you want
Are you finally satisfied
Or do you go on seeking more?

Do you ever just want to throw it all away?
See if the next hand dealt might be
Anything or everything better than here
Can I close my eyes and wish for another day?

Stop all the talking
Some things you can't take back
Holding the tongue is a martial art
Only few have mastered it

I can't take the lapping of the niceties
I crave the storm on the horizon
Reach out my sands to invite it to my shores
Raise up and meet it with equal resilience

Can you take me with you as you dissipate?
On to the next universe
Fading in and out of existence at our pleasure
Molding ourselves to the fates
