he was the greatest prince in the world

he was the pettiest criminal


he was the greatest prince in the world

not because of his riches

or because of his country, splendid and gorgeous as it was

or because of his lifestyle, luxury upon luxury

or his looks, pretty as lilies


no, he knew how to use words 

twist them into beautiful sentences

wielded the power of shaping words

into becoming

his sword


he could have used it to fight

to hurt others with the vocabulary he built up

to break heart after heart

with his mighty weapon and shield


and yet he used it to fix 

broken pieces long believed to be ruined

fixed them with words

softer than petals 

make them feel loved again

feel wanted again


for the prince loved his people

and they loved him


perhaps that's why 

he was drawn to the prince

no one knows


on a rainy night

the prince met his downfall


he swept in like a hurricane 

stronger than anything else

with the evilest of intentions

yet the prince was 

too kind-hearted

couldn't see past the pretty rose


what a pity

he didn't notice

the thorns


the prince lost his defenses, his walls

lost his first, lost his life

slowly his words 

disappeared

in exchange for 

this mysterious man

with doe eyes looking so innocent

who didn't like the way the prince 

helped others


the prince was too 

in it to realize

perhaps he was better off with 

the lilies


they played cat-and-mouse for 

six years

the prince fell in love


he left as fast as 

he came


screams echoed 

through the hallways

sobs begged him to 

come back

yet he 

left

leaving the prince heart-broken


the prince tried to 

regain his life

without the man taking up 

his space, his life

but love is like 

that

breaking 

your walls ever so

slowly

yet you don't realize that

you aren't the one 

holding them up anymore


he was the greatest prince in the world 

yet no one remembers him for the good he did

but his tragic death


yet he does
