Her savior nearly came too late
A paper blown into her cave
Landing in the pools of bloody tears
The princess read its words and paused
She read them again and again
And every time she read them, she spoke the words aloud
Another paper fell in her lap
And paper upon paper covered her skin
Until the tears were all cried and the blood was all dried
She read the words again and again and she felt a spark
Not a fire
Nor a flame
Barely a whisper
But enough
That the princess decided
"I can live one more day."
