Calligraphy

In a wild, frantic fairytale
Could you name a character 
Whose heart had failed her
In ways that mine has?

With a bitter flame inside my chest,
I pledge I'll never try again.
I plea with grace and decency
With every attempt to flee the scene.
With every attempt to leap into flight.
To let down my white flag,
Stay in and fight.
