TALES

I want to share dainty little tales with you,
Or scantily tell you over quaint little stories;
(about how love is painless and always true)
how villains can win and bask in their glories.

Would you find it heartbreaking and unbelievable?
Or maybe believable, yet morally questionable?
Perhaps filled with far too many goals, unachievable?
Or foolish characters making choices, unacceptable?

Eventually, I can promise you a lesson or two,
alongside a tragic hero, who is unsung and spent;
a plot twist here and there a leery subplot through
which the story tumbles down its predictable descent.

Perhaps, with you, I do not need to share these tales.
Since, in hindsight, it wreaks of you in familiar details.
