Digital Cinderella

No Grand Ball or Gown Cinderella now with a frown Swipe right Instant Like Swipe left Instant Dislike. The alarm set for 12 a.m Cinderella has to wake up then Prince Charming awake now Three dots on the screen Waiting on someone who is typing His emotions, or so you think Cinderella eager now for him to reveal The part she likes most, his heart. Cinderella nodding off now Waking up with a start Typing in four dots, indicating we’ll see End of discussion from me. Morning dawns on Cinderella Playing with five dots Full of uncertainty, four walls of prison Surrounds her completely. Six dots, a signal of thoughts unspoken A unsettled utterance for that somebody Coming back to a single dot Full Stop. Carry on dancing Cinderella In circles around a dot This allows for keeping your eyes off clocks And a ear out only for the Alarm. 05.09.2020
