Once upon a time,
I thought you truly loved me.
I used to believe
In happily ever after.
When fairytales were more than fantasies,
When I dreamed of whisking you away
To a castle of our own.
But I was not the knight
In this fairytale of ours.
No, I was the dragon,
Having stolen you away,
Doomed to be slain
By one worthy of your hand.
A knight in shining armor,
A well-placed sword between my scales,
And I watched you slip away
To find an ending of your own.
My story ended here,
Watching the treasure I had guarded—
Your laugh, your love, your smile,
Once given to me freely,
Now saved solely for another.
Once upon a time,
You were a princess,
But I was not your prince.
