Poem
The damsel in distress routine got old at first, it was so captivating made you feel like a knight you had dragons to slay you saw the tears you wanted to be the hero of her dreams you wanted her to faint with delight at your sight to sigh you wanted to whisk her away make love to her night and day your just reward for wiping her tears away Oh, it was sweet it was to see how she needed you wanted you she wanted you to stay dream castle knight on display It got old, the damsel in distress routine some of the demons were too strong the nightmares too harrowing the insecurity too stifling the neediness too needy it got old The tears of past memories didn’t dry quickly enough the castle walls closed in turning into a dungeon hero accolades grew thin In the dark of night you lowered the drawbridge and while she slept you snuck away the damsel in distress routine got old, too old to keep you While night turned to day as you rode away the truth would not dawn for you the night all you knew you couldn't understand couldn't see it wasn’t a routine the damsel in distress regressed more distressed was she in dawning light to see the night had claimed her knight This tale of woe I weave of fairytale that bleeds is true, you see for the damsel in distress, is me I’m still.... the damsel in distress with no one no one to rescue me Eileen
