Poem
"The Wretched Prince" You were my hope And all my dreams, But all of that has changed, It seems Because I treated You so bad, Destroying everything We had And if I could Just turn back time, I'd claim you and, I'd make you mine I'd treat you Like a Princess fair, Hold you close, And stroke your hair A precious jewel You would be, Honored, Treasured, Loved by me I'd be your Prince, Your Hero true, And nothing Would I keep from you But this is not A Fairy Tale, I missed the mark, I lost the trail Your "Prince" was just A wretch, it seems, Quite capable Of killing dreams A Hero? No, I failed that too, You got much less Than you were due I rack my brain, I beat my breast, Realizing that I failed the test And I know this, You played no part, In the reckless murder Of your heart We had it all, We were "that pair" I ruined that, It wasn't fair I promised not To play that game, But in the end, I hold the blame You were "the one" I always said, Then cruelly left Our love for dead Your faith in me Was rare and just, I finally ground It into dust I crushed your faith, And acted small, And caused a bitter rain To fall I hurt you love, And I regret, The pain I caused, You can't forget And if I could Reset the clock, Erase the pain, The hurt, the shock I'd do it now I swear it's true, Undo the harm I did to you But time moves forward I am told, It leaves me sad, And feeling old With words too little, And too late, I took your love, And left you hate These words I offer Unto you, With hope you can Believe they're true You were so strong, Yet fragile too, I tore a precious thing From you I pray that God Will soon repair, The heart I was so quick to tear I thank you for The strength you shared, The love you gave, And how you cared Your courage helped me To go on, When all of mine Was dead and gone All I left you Was pain and strife, And I'll regret that All my life Please know your tears Don't fall alone, I miss the place We once called home This wretched "prince" Will hobble on, No longer part, Of your sweet song A Princess, I can never claim, But I will not Forget your name, My honor, blanketed by shame, But I will not forget your name.
