My Timekeeper
the prince in this tale was too scared to ask for help
he tried to save himself
the prince is strong
the prince was the strongest
at his weakest moments, the princess didn't know how to help
for he had never spoken in this language
of pain and misery
she was not able to help, for she was locked in her tower
-
the princess is strong
The princess is the strongest
She never asked the prince how he felt
too strong to ask for help
he was asking
screaming for help
But, too lost in being independent, the princess missed her chance to rewrite history
The princess saved the prince.
The prince always saves the princess because he owns a watch
The princess; strong and brave
Is too lost in her mind to be the hero
she lost herself, and then she lost him
