PRINCESS AND THE TOWER

I was once a princess
One that was once loved by all
Shown to thrall
But yet.

Left in the tower,
With no one but a prowler
Outside my window
Waiting to make me a widow.

For I don't have a spouse
And that doesn't even count,
I wish to be free
Grow into a tree
Yet I'm stuck
I wonder I'll ever flee.

I wish to tell my heart
But I'm a jar
No words could ever tell
That's why I fell.

For I don't know what love even is,
I can't risk falling off the throne.

Even if I'm not bestowed,
Then one day
I left.

I ran and ran
The guards kept looking
But I was nowhere
I was somewhere
But not there.
