Dead Princess
September 10, 2015
I am a cardaverous Princess
I died waiting for my prince
Each day took another breath away
Anticipating a lover's interest
I am a sorrowful inmate
I cry tears of longing
Tears that turned to atramentous blood
Each drop and unbleachable stain
I am a bodiless prisoner
I enflicted my own pain
Hoping that there might be a way
To see my expected visitor
I am a dead princess
I died from a broken heart
Surprised I even had blood to bleed
Because he spilt it all.
