Once upon a time, there was a love that felt like a fairy tale.

This is what comes after the happily ever after.

In Fairy Tales, the magic has faded, the castles are crumbling, and the love story unravels into ghosts. Through haunting verse and raw confession, these poems explore the quiet wreckage left behind — when the knight doesn’t stay, and the only thing left to believe in is the ghost of what once was.

For anyone who has ever loved, lost, and lingered in the hollow space between a beautiful beginning and a silent, unkind end.

Not the fairy tale they told you, but the one you survived.
