Once Upon a Dream


drip

            drop

                        drip

                                    drop

                        sweet

            dreams

little

            princess.

                        i dragged

                                        you

                                                down

                                    to

                        steal

            your

crown.

            i pray

                        this

                                    is

a

            dream

                        as i

                                    let

                                                out

                                                            a

                                                scream.

                                    you’re

                        back

            and

                        you’re

                                    hungry,

                                                lips

                                                            stained

                                                with

                                    blood.

                        why

            didn’t

you

            stay

                        asleep

                                    little

                                                princess?
