The Girl of Endless Sleep

I was the girl of endless sleep

The girl both cursed and blessed.

I was the one who was prophesied

To endless years of rest.

I was the daughter of parentless monarchs

So mournful in the hole

Of children nonexistent

Until their hearts I stole.

I was the fool of wandering halls

The girl who spun her downfall

With a touch of just a finger

Led to an unhealthy sprawl.

I was a damsel in distress

Whose prince was just in time

He fought his way to rescue me

Through trials, dragons and grime.

I was the blessed princess

Who danced a night away

With magic spinning everywhere

Through an elegant fray

I was the beloved bride

Walking up to meet my prince

This time the kiss just met me

In what I thought was providence

But now I can no longer be

A blessed, bright bride

I have grown out of my follies

Who no longer sleeps inside

My days are endless

Dreary, aimless

Since happily ever after

Became tragedy

Life is not just a story,

Problems end

But new ones begin.

Now my dress is woven out of black

Because now, I am a widow.
