The Prince was Saved


Lost

Lost in a world filled with coins and riches

People wanting more from me

Expecting more

How can I live in a world where I feel like I don’t belong

Father told me I must marry

But marry who?

A girl I don’t know

A girl that my father thinks is “right for me”

A girl that only wants me for my fortune

Yeah, im lost

What about true love, what about my happy ever after

But I’m tired

Tired of always doing things they want me to do

Maybe if I end this miserable life I wouldn’t have to worry about who I marry

Or worry about becoming king

My only escape is my boat, maybe then I will be lost at sea without a care in the world

Maybe then I will finally be free

The ocean looks beautiful

Peaceful

Something I’ve longing for a long time

One jump and the water that looked peaceful is pressing against my lungs

Instead of air I am getting water

I don’t struggle, I don’t flinch

I feel emptiness

and just when I thought everything was over

There she was

A beautiful girl with ruby hair with an exceptional voice

A voice that is in my head till this very day

She was a beauty

One that made me forget about my emptiness

Made me forget about responsibilities and titles

The one that saved me when I didn’t think I could be saved

This

This is what true love felt like

She gave me hope

A hope that made me a stronger man each day

A man that can finally become a king

And now married to a girl of my dreams I no longer feel empty

I no longer doubt myself

I am no longer lost

And all because of Ariel.
