Dream

Princess,

Here's your ever-after.
Ran our of 'happy'.
Fresh out of 'fairy tale'.
So I guess, here's your story.

Locked in your tower,
No chance of rescue.
Princess, please tell me,
Who did this to you?

A knight? Or an army?
A prince? Or your king?
A wicked witch?

An enchanted spell.
Removing your will.
To walk?
To fight?
To breathe?

You walk among the dead.
Shadows haunting either side.
You can't express the ever-growing scream.
But tell me princess...

Are you awake?
Or do you dream?
