Each strand of my hair carried memories,
I maintained them long, for many centuries.
I've lived willingly in a tower since birth,
To protect my hair from the devils of this earth.
Vivid memories surfaced in different forms,
They could come and go like violent storms.
Some could turn me yellow or blue;
Inconceivable sensations as they went through.
Retrieving memories required me to sing,
Melody as exquisite and enchanting as the Spring.
Feelings rushed in as I ended the song;
A bright smile formed, as I cherished long.
Spent hours looking out of the glass window,
Dreaming for a prince while hugging my pillow.
My line of thought was at once interrupted,
❝Rapunzel, let down your hair,❞ mother instructed.
One afternoon, silently reading a book,
Traveling the world, stories were all it took.
❝Rapunzel, please, let down your hair,❞ someone said.
T'was an unfamiliar voice but I went ahead.
Alas! It surely wasn't my dear mother.
The prince and I stared long at each other.
Overwhelming feelings were newly felt,
A pair of soft eyes was making me melt.
Walking forward, his mouth gently parted,
❝A heavenly voice captured my heart,❞ he asserted.
Each word held absolute genuineness,
His mere presence brought profound tenderness.
Since that day, the prince kept visiting,
Stories of foreign lands; I kept listening.
Memories we spent - I collected each one,
Making sure twice that I left none.
Mother returned shortly from the marketplace,
❝I have something to tell you from that place.❞
She spoke about a prince that was soon to be married.
In a flash, I figured, my dreams were buried.
Silent tears fell to the firm ground,
Enough despair for anyone to drown.
Without even a proper word of farewell,
Turning my eternal life into a living hell.
Pure heart couldn't bear the distinct pain,
Delusive memories and promises remained.
The last thing to do was take a knife,
At long last, I cut my hair, ending its life.
