a fairies first kiss,
is their first sign of freedom,
their single greatest song,
and their most sorrowful lament.

a fairies first kiss,
is their first chance at heartbreak,
their first chance at something real,
something humanlike,
something that's not been cultivated,
and set for a fairytale happy ending,
a fate too long awaited
and yearned for.

because a shattered heart,
is better than the torture
of their unsung lullaby,
repeated day in and day out,
bloodied and blue,
from the fighting of a fair and far few,
begging for the freedom,
to let their wings fly,
to escape from mountain and hilltop,
breathing in the beautiful scents,
of lilacs and daisies.
