I Saw the Movie Aladdin

I saw the new movie and loathed loving it so much I wrote a poem.

Any resemblance to persons or interactions real or imagined are coincidental.

Fairytale

Can’t you see?
You’ve rattled my cage with your kindness
Don’t you know?
I was becoming content with my blindness

Don’t talk to me of love and stuff
Don’t open locked door of never enough!

Can’t you see?
It is not mine to believe in
Not love, nor beauty, nor truth
So please stop sewing seeds of sweet make-believing

Don’t talk to me of love and more
My prison is self chosen and holds no door

Can’t you see?
I’m pacing my boards with raised heartbeat
Don’t you know?
That you will watch me die the moment I submit defeat

So please hush now with the ache of your words
Don’t stir my bones with poetry unheard

Won’t you believe me?
Don’t you know it is true?
My heart was burned to black
Not man-made into blue

But never stop whispering into the ashes
Until I am risen and worthy with the dawn of the passes
