Fairytale Fools

The passion is dead,
the fire burnt out
but don't you know?
We cook over the coals.
Hearts which once raced
a high-octane affair
have given out.
One day
you will see
That fairytales are just
dreams that don't last,
that song and story
are the hopes of fools
wishing to delay
the inevitable,
and
that I am one such fool.
