the other cinderella

Whispered Gardens:

told from someone else's point of view

Prick me harder

one by one

gnarled teeth gnawing

Whisper (licking)

"you're the one"

Meanwhile, I'm thinking

you're the nothing

I've become

and this is the story

of another cinderella

who's story goes untold

ignored because it's a

cruel novella

of love-turned-savy

depr.i.cation

Silenced harder

I'm on the floor

tell me nothing

then you tell me more

Pricked me harder

ten by ten

gnarled teeth gnawing

Whisper (licking)

"you'll soon be forgot.ten"

Meanwhile, I'm thinking

"you're the nothing

I've become,

and if it isn't one thing,

it's....."

and this is the story

of another cinderella

who's story goes untold

ignored because it's a

cruel.er novella than most

of love-turned-savy

depr.i.cation in the most

sinister guise

called fairy-god-mother

habits with whips-of-guilt

and spears-of-regret.....
