My Prince
Take me under your wing and recite me a lullaby
In the darkness I want to feel you pervading my every being
To listen to your heart beat along with mine
To caress your heart in my shivering hands
Please understand your heart is purer than mine
I can never withstand what your power is doing
As I beg you to allow me to kneel at your feet
To kiss and dangle in your modesty and honesty
There is no one to reside but you and me
In this dimming labyrinth of courtesy
I await you every day of my life
To hear your mere words slide from your royal lips
To hear you speak and to feel your touch
I would throw out very last inch of me
Just to have you here with me
What more could life have in store
For a girl like me, never to be adored
It is with tears that I beg you
To see me now earnestly longing you
I stumble on useless words of filth
Just to fall into your arms
I’m trying to escape these verses
They are tearing me apart and catapulting me far
My prince, please don’t leave me here
Inside the light of rigorous poetry
Kill me in hate or love me in this state
And free me from this prison
Recite me a sweet resonate lullaby
Let me rest in your bosom forever
And if my lashes turn up to you
May your majestic features only hold a smile
