Poems for the Poor

Princess of Nothing is Only Dreaming

Your expensive and flashy jewelry is rusting
And your tattered old treasure needs dusting
On a plastic throne with your paper crown
With a surplus of makeup to hide a
frown
Looking down at your shattered dead city
Oh my daft darling such a horrendous pity
The palace you ruled was never even there
Your kingdom controlled without an heir
The handsome prince ran away to be free
The world you dreamt is not there you see
Ideas flooded your mind to invent a place
Where you were the only important face
He was to wake you from a lasting trance
And offer his strong arm for a dreamy dance
But he's not there so his heart you can't keep
So forever poor darling you will stay in sleep
