Cinderella and Despair

August 31, 2017

Charming danced with Cinderella

Until the clock struck twelve.

She seemed so full of secrets

He hoped that she would tell.

But Ella was so worried

That she'd betray herself.

If he knew, he wouldn't let her

Run to her attic cell.

He'd asked her for her name

Time and time throughout the night,

But the girl, she never answered

In fear he'd be ashamed of her true sight.

So as soon as midnight did approach

Ella sprinted to the stairs

And as she rushed through the giant castle gates

He almost stopped her by a hair.

But just like in the fairytale,

Cinderella lost her shoe.

And Charming? He bent down for it

But the clock struck twelve too soon.

So Cindy never lost her slipper

For it vanished in thin air.

And the prince? He watched it disappear

As if she never had been there.
