Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time, I loved a princess She had no kingdom to speak of But even a moment of her time was priceless Nor did she have Royal Blood For her blood was that of a commoner Once upon a time, I loved a princess She was fair as can be, just look in her eyes to see The depth of her soul, for she truly knew pain But the scars on her heart, I hoped to wash away with the rain She was not perfect by any means, but she was a princess to me Once upon a time, I loved a princess Or at least that’s what she was to me Her wish was my command, for her love I would withstand The rage of a thousand nations if just for a moment I could see That love that twinkled in her eye whenever her eyes gazed Upon a commoner like me; For I am nothing compared to my princess Once upon a time, I killed a princess I did not harm her body, t’was her soul that I killed For when I left her crying, wounded in the street I could not let our bodies touch, nor our faces meet I left my princess bleeding in the street Her heart was bleeding, her voice was pleading “Please! No!” she screamed to the lonely moon And then and there I knew that I was no knight in shining armor I was the devil in disguise and I destroyed my princess’ kingdom With my words full of lies Once upon a time, I loved a princess And once upon a time, she loved me… *Dedicated to a time when I loved a girl who loved me more than life itself. I left her and she was never, and I feel never will be, the same again. It sill hurts me to this day to think that I caused her so much pain. P.S. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
