You tore down my castle
And let the dragon run rampant.
Instead of awakening me
With a sweet kiss,
You put me to sleep
With daggers and heartache.
When did you stop being
My Prince Charming?
When did my happy ending
Turn into a tragedy?
The rose withered and died
And its thorns embraced me
Tearing me,
Shredding me,
Leaving the opening where
Reality seeped into my brain
Clouding my dreams
Showing what I thought
Was the truth to be nothing
But lies.
Your lies are what started all this;
The sweet words that danced
Through my mind
And built up my kingdom,
Made you the prince
And me your
Cinderella
