Whatever happened to fairytale romances? Oh right, they only occur in *drumrolls* fairytales. "And they lived happily ever after", or so they say.

Why do most of us suffer from the absence of an almost perfect fairytale romance? Is the world so full of lies, mistrust, polygamy and more lies that the all-powerful LOVE can't even overcome and triumph? After all, they do say "love conquers all", don't they? But hell no, don't let your naivete get the better of you. There are so many ingredients needed to keep a partnership brewing well. Sometimes (most of the time?) it gets so tiring that don't we just wish we weren't such social creatures? Such suckers for love, attention, care and affection. God just had to preach LOVE, didn't He?

A barrage of questions, a lack of answers. And solutions, unfortunately.

Why do people stay together? What keeps these couples going?

Define the upturned triangle
For shapes no longer keep sight
With shifts and growth inside out
We change as fast as light.
Blank, empty, white and black
What does one actually see
Worry, fear and disappointment
Please stop mocking me.
