deep into the night, she read
those fairy tales that kept on
enchanting her making her believe
everything was possible, but he
knew better for he sighed and
smiled his thoughtful smile telling
her to wake up, and she argued that
the good part was drawing near
but he turned and left his princess
there for he's grown too old to
believe that he could remain
in the fairy tale with her...
deep into the night, she reads
in the tent of shrugged sheets
and a flashlight trying to get
to the end, trying with all her
might to bring her prince back
but the end seems to be twisted
for no matter how late she stays
up, she finds only the empty trails
leading to the empty places
where her prince's shadow avoids.
