and she never woke up


Once upon a time, there was a princess named Talia

who was cursed to a long sleep from a splinter of flax

She fell in love with the neighboring kingdom's prince,

but when she confessed, the prince said he just wanted to be friends

Heartbroken Talia pricked her finger on the splinter and slept on a velvet throne

She waited for her Prince Charming to kiss her awake

but he never came

and she never woke up
