The castle bells finally rang
My heart surprisingly sang
He did not lie. He said he will
Come. I knew he would, yet I still
Did not want to really believe
He would stay and not leave
I did not know what he saw in me
I truly expected he would flee
A beast locked up in chains
Waiting release from her pains
Waiting for that lonely kiss
To pull me from my abyss
Could he be the one?
Or will he like the others run.
Like all who came before
Like all who knocked my door
He said he was coming
To see me in thanksgiving
Today could be the day
We either play or I slay
Like I did many in my past
Those who have been aghast
By the scars on my face
And those I did not want to trace
We sat for the final supper
The last words I expected him to utter
Were, “can I hold you in my arms?”
I finally scummed to his charms
When he finally asked to see my jewel
Those were his last, the silly fool
Who does he think I am?
I had a feeling he was a scam
My treasures were my own
Not to be touched or shown
I will return to my castle alone
Until I die or I turn to stone.
How original! Anyone who can’t look past our flaws and scars, don’t deserve us. I’ve been there, I know.
We don’t…if you dissect our minds the only word you’ll ever find is “sex”
Brilliantly penned, Sam. A great read my friend. Appreciate you.
