PRINCE BY FIONA CUMMINGS

PRINCE

BY FIONA CUMMINGS

She can’t believe what she has just heard

It’s not true, totally absurd

He won’t do that to her surely?

All those memories, he can’t treat her so cruelly?

She looks into his ice blue eyes

Into his soul she prise

Trying to find his new disguise

He can’t be so stupid, he’s always been wise

Who is this new person standing before her?

With her thin laboured fingers, she grips onto his collar

Begging him not to leave her

Raking into his skin so fair

Causing crimson blood from a tare

He is so cold, not even a tear

She is full of grief and fear

He has been her love since time began

Now he is leaving, that wasn’t their plan

He will go forever

How can he?

All their life they have been together

So he has a lover?

Where is she who is she

A perfect life will become a distant memory

She tries to kiss him to remind him what they had

But he pulls away telling her it’s bad

She screams at him her voice echo’s

Noticing on the wall is their shadows

Moving images without a face

Standing there in the same place

She wants to freeze that thought

Her breath has been caught

Lessons to be taught

Time doesn’t stand still

Once he has made such a decision it can’t be changed

If it could

They would end up deranged

For each time he left her

She would be left to wonder

Where is he going

And who with

The jealousy would keep growing

The wind would be blowing

A stormy marriage for sure

For this disease

There is no cure

His heart has lost her

And has found another

His arms can’t hold her

For they have been filled

Passion between them has been killed

He packs his bags and is on his way

To start his new life, far away

So what will become of her now?

Well lines upon her brow

Her smile becomes a frown

She is looking down

But one day

A Prince will come her way

He will pick her up high on his horse

And ride into the hills

Where the grass is green

And full of daffodils

A babbling stream

A kiss on her trembling lips

She will think she is in a dream

But no, this is reality

And then she will learn her final lesson

She now knows quality

And thanks her blessings

So a happy ending

But so much pain to get there

If only she believed her pain will end one day

Her agony will go away

She will marry her Prince one day
