True Love's Kiss

“The princess shall prick her hand on a spindle and die.”
  
Out of sheer jealously
- No other reason-
An evil fairy placed such a wicked spell
Upon a baby girl
 
Such an act of hatred
Towards such a person who had done nothing wrong
 
And ever since she was condemned to a life
She had neither wanted nor asked for
 
Awaiting a prince no one could be sure would come
To give her true love’s kiss
And make leave the spell undone.

 
“Queen, you are full fair, it is true, but Snow White is fairer than you.”
 
Upon the Queens jealous orders
A huntsman is ordered to kill
A sweet innocent girl
 
Once again she had done no harm
Nothing to cause the new queen pain
 
“You are to return with her heart.”
 
The huntsman, unable to do so,
Tried to trick the queen
But to no avail
 
Soon the queen devised a plan
So evil and cunning
 
She handed her a poisonous apple
And watched as she fell
 
But again true love kiss
Brought her out of death’s painful grip.
 
Moral of the story?
 
Bad people will always
Do bad things 
To good people
Who don’t deserve it
 
But your true love
Is always there
To kiss 
The pain away
