The Damsel

The Damsel There's damsel in a Tower a dark and gloomy place a window and a mirror that show's a tired face. Her door is made of iron a window is her light her hero's by the locked door the door he tries to fight. She looks out of her window and calls out with a cry her hero's looking back up and ask's the question 'why' ? The damsel yearns her hero to come to set her free again he pounds the iron but damsel... has the key' !
