Author's Note: Hello Oncers! I am nochance and this is my first Once Upon a Time fic. I thought of this right after Stable Boy so it is set in that time period and from Regina's POV. Hope you like it!

Everybody's Fool

perfect by nature

icons of self-indulgence

just what we all need

more lies about a world that

never was and never will be

have you no shame? Don't you see me?

you know you've got everybody fooled

"You've always seen yourself that way haven't you? Innocent." I spat at her. Daniel was dead and it was her fault. Yet she had no shame.

look here she comes now

bow down and stare in wonder

oh how we love you

no flaws when you're pretending

Everyone believes that she is both perfect and blameless. They all adore her and made her their queen. She is a flawless actress but she will never fool me.

but now I know she

never was and never will be

you don't know how you've betrayed me

and somehow you've got everybody fooled

She betrayed my trust and destroyed my only chance of happiness. I am doing no more than trying to return the favor.

without the mask where will you hide?

can't find yourself lost in your lie

I know the truth now

I know who you are

and I don't love you anymore

I saved her life and how does she repay me? She betrayed my trust to the one person I told her never to tell. I could have grown to love the little girl but hatred grew inside me instead.

it never was and never will be

you don't know how you've betrayed me

and somehow you've got everybody fooled

it never was and never will be

you're not real and you can't save me

somehow now you're everybody's fool

Now that she is in jail, everyone will see her for what she is. A Murderer and a fool. A fool for going against me.
