Hope Less Romantics
I had hope for you.
Imaging you would be that once-upon-a-time-story, that
it’s obviously-meant-to-be story, that
she’s-been-under-my-nose-the-entire-time story, that
exception to every other story that has played out & left me wanting more
You were there after every cliff-hanger, unfinished chapters, & every sequel
You were the spine that kept this book together & not allowing my pages to fly in different directions
I had hope for you.
You set this up as the ultimate love story that would end all the cliff-hangers, unfinished chapters, & the sequels
It was your chapter, your conclusion to our happy-ending, it was going to be
Us
You proved we deserved Us
The dialogue was perfect
The plot, not the most organized but you were there
That’s all the mattered
I had hope for you.
You’re no different than the rest of them
I wanted the climax of your tale to be different than those I earlier wrote
but you’re no different than the rest of them
Same foundation
Same motivation
Same
You were going to be my myth, my
fairy tale, my
once upon a time in a magical faraway land
there lived two maidens who loved & loved again
I had hope for you.
But your character showed their true colors & now I have to end this novel & start a new
Finding a lead that won’t surprise the reader into thinking they’re the hero
only to be revealed that they are indeed the villain of this series
I’m ready to start over again
Chapter 1
I have hope for us.
