Charlatan

Grand beginnings. Green pastures abound.

Plans hatched, ideals, maps, goals, rose-tinted hue, utopian dreams…bliss.

Tables turned. Untruths awash. Snake oil, Jack’s beans, unattainable mirage. 

Thread unravelling. Pandora’s box. Melancholic brood. Grey descent.

If I can’t have her…then no one will.
