Once upon a dream..

§▪‡▪§

Once upon a dream,

I thought I could touch it,

I didn't think it was a scheme.

What I lacked was wit,

Or so it would seem.

Just as my fingers grazed just a bit,

My dream split at its seams.

Unraveling in a spiraling fit,

Hope no longer beams.

With deceit writing my defeat,

Ignorance and vice paint in streams.

Now it's foregone,

Leaving me forlorn,

In this pit of scorn.

Once upon a dream,

One candy colored with cotton and cream,

With nothing but bliss,

I never expected this,

This hellish abyss.
