Free Range Chicken

...she kept her heart on a chain never let it run mad like it was born to do she kept her head in a box never let it see the light of day she has keepsakes for a heart and romance novels on shelves little dragons decorate her hallway with little knights to slay them natural and homespun as can be she lives in her books and lives for the day prince charming will come her way she knits and tinkers her days away always busy never stops she is a model prisoner in her homemade jail ever ready to pardon the thief for a kiss ever ready to take the burden from the beast she thinks someday will come tomorrow and itll be better than promised itll be sunshine cakes and sweet wine and she will be done doing time for being a lover not a sinner she kept her heart on a chain and her head in a box and never gave chase to the wild boys now grown and old
