This is the story of beauty and the beast Where her love failed to do the magic.

This is the story of Cinderella Where the king never came to find the leg that fit.

Abbie's "Our story" takes two famous fairy tales and shows how they fail to match her own. In the Beauty and the Beast she describes, love doesn't work its magic. In her Cinderella, the king never arrives with the shoe to find the right foot. The speaker is telling us that her story doesn't follow the version everyone grows up hearing.

The heart of the poem is the line about two soulmates who never met. That's a quiet kind of heartbreak: the connection was real, or felt like it should have been, but it never got the chance to happen. She still calls it an "Epic story," which sounds both proud and sad, as if the missed love was large even without a meeting. The closing phrase, "Happily never after," twists the usual ending into something bitter. The mood is wistful and resigned, with a dry edge of irony. The short, broken lines make it feel like she's holding back, saying only as much as she can bear.

Choking

Every time I write some poem about us, my fingers stutter. the ending lines are always in hiccups. My heart always chokes my hand; I freaking can't swallow our breakups.

Ignoring

Silence is my masquerade I saw you my love, but I pretend like I didn't hear your eyes serenade. He: hey
