The Escape

She was never more beautiful then she was the night She stepped out of the castle in the gentle moon light And let her tiny feet carry her far away From life that she lived in chains every day She moved through the fields without a sound With heart beating fast she would never turn back around No longer a captive-tonight she was free Never back in chains would she ever be She whispered this timidly to the stars in the sky And they answered back giving her the desire to fly And the she spread her wings-the ones she had never seen And left the darkness behind-forever freed

"From life that she lived in chains everyday", "...she would never turn back...", "Never...would she ever be." This reads like something that never happened. Like a hypothetical play that's dreamed up behind bars. You didn't get away, did you.
