Is a Princess Better Than Gold?

All this crap
parading our
souls makes you
wonder is a princess
better than gold?

Are you good enough?
A solid girl without
a heart of glass.
You cry so many nights
is it worth the task?

Your eyes are pretty,
hair flows like beauty
with the sun.
I see your heart and
now you tell your God
I can love him even
though he leaves me alone
in a distant run.

Run sweet girl
burn.
Your lesson is
learned.
Fall on his breath
and save his lost
sin.
He is all that you
have and you are
gold or a no one.

Afraid to love
and be without.
A ghost walking streets
lonely, sacred, and
beat.
No shelter for
the heat.
I see your wings
battered and torn.
Every lesson is learned
and your heart yearns.
