Fairytale romance: hold me back.
A frog, the Beast, a necrophiliac,
a foot fetishist
who can’t even remember what you
look like.
A hair puller,
a prince who doesn’t believe
you’re a princess
and makes you prove it,
with your bruises.
The dance partner who doesn’t
notice that your feet are bleeding
let alone that you’ve traded in
your tail,
a series of dodgy woodcutters
who keep turning up to help when
you’re in danger -
because they’re stalkers.
The man who breaks and enters
through the bramble patch
wakes you up early, ruins the
garden,
and, Bluebeard.
Seriously:
Seriously:
not much of a catch.
