Once upon a time...

There was a beautiful princess

There was a handsome slave

The princess held this man captive

And he remained constrained by the woman

She often spoke words of love to the slave

And the slave had no choice but to love back

She pretended to be happy with this love that was a lie

His emotions had been killed by being lied to for so long

Bound by love in an everlasting darkness

And bound by chains in cheerless oppression

Who was the one who was truly repressed?

There was a knight. Brave. Strong.

But most of all, loving

He had loved the princess truly. Yet

He knew that the princess could never love back

He could never admit his love to a woman who loves another!

So he took his faithful emotions far away to find requiem.

But he found no peace.

No peace but in. Death.

A servant told the princess

That her faithful Knight was found

A sword thrust into his chest.

Tears swelled in her eyes and

She turned to her slave for comfort.

"Smile for me, my love. Help me through."

The slave stared at her with his blank, heartless eyes

"How?" he'd whisper softly, for he knew not.

The Princess smiled softly, tears in her eyes.

His love was false.

This had hit her with a ripping pain

Hadn't she known that all along?

So why did she let her heart be broken?

Her heart would tear more in agony of lies

But she loved to lie down in his arms.

She knew it was all a falsehood

But she wouldn’t let go.

She couldn't let go.

And they all lived...

Happily ever after?
