Princess Faelen

by Paul Ryerson

February 4, 2025

She has the modern day elegance of Princess Grace

I really hope her love doesn't go to the wrong person, I hope it doesn't go to waste

I am out of her picture because I don't fit in the modern day picture frame

Maybe it would have been a different story in a different time and a different place

Princess Faelen, she won't be the Princess Grace to my Prince Rainier

But I still think she is a wonderful person, I still hold her so dear

She is so close but current circumstances keep her so far away

Maybe she could have been my Princess Faelen in happier, sunnier days

She will have many choices in life but it will be difficult for her to find her true Prince

I hope that she doesn't get her heart broken, I hope there won't be a lot of wasted kisses

Those who know her best say she is a wonderful person with a good soul

But I fear she will get her heart broken, and that disappointment will make her grow cold

Princess Faelen, she was never meant to be this King's Queen

Fate has other ideas, I guess it wasn't in either one of our destinies

But that does not mean that I don't admire all of her wonderful qualities

But Princess Faelen was never meant to be my enchanted Queen

Her beautiful, sparkling blue eyes are truly a window into her soul

Her gorgeous smile when you really see it is really breathtaking to behold

I really hope the wrong person doesn't turn that smile into a frown

I hope the person she ends up with doesn't take her for granted and let her down

Princess Faelen, everywhere you go, your beauty should always be appreciated

Princess Faelen, I hope that your love and your good heart is never wasted

Princess Faelen, a man would truly be King of the world if he had you

Princess Faelen, you deserve to find a love that will always be true

Like Swift's songs such as "Love Story" or "White Horse," your poem weaves fairy tale imagery (princesses, kings, queens) with modern emotional vulnerability. The way you express admiration from afar while accepting that timing and circumstances aren't right echoes Swift's signature narrative style of detailed, personal storytelling. Your repeated use of "Princess Faelen" as a refrain is similar to how Swift often uses repetition to emphasize emotional points in her songs.
