If the Glass Slipper Disappeared


If the Glass Slipper Disappeared

Cinderella was always the maid of the house,

always being as quiet as a mouse, 

but when her fairy godmother gave her a complete new look,

the oppertunity she happily took.

She had to be on her way at midnight

but when the clock stroke twelve, it gave her quite a fright.

She ran down the stairs hastily

her shoe came off but going back seemed completely crazy.

A young man saw her running down the stairs

seeing her so worried was a guilt he could not bear.

So he grabbed the shoe and hopped onto his carriage

expecting regection but instead, after a year he got marriage.

He had no clue who she was,

yet he was always left in awe.

The next day, the young man went to the house where he last saw the young maiden

he was afraid of rejection because he was only the coachman.

Yet Cinderella learned to love him and gave him her heart

and to take it was like taking a work of art.

They fled together like rebelous teenagers, young and in love

they fit together so perfectly, like a glove.

She never knew of the prince that lived in the castle 

but she married and her children grew up blissful.
