Realistically Ever After
once I was
a scared little girl
living in a castle
with an Evil Queen
and her Ogre King
every other weekend
my White Knight
would rescue me
and take me to his
humble home for
a much-needed respite
lawmakers of the land
were under the spell
of the Evil Queen
and forced me to return
time and again
I eventually escaped
that castle and another
Ogre thrown in my path
I may seem strong
but inside I am still
that scared little girl
I no longer require rescuing
there is only room
in life for one
White Knight
I would like to find a man
who is still
a scared little boy
so that we can
hold each other's hands
as we grow up
and learn to slay our dragons
together
