Locked once again in their tiny bedroom.
Days on end she had dreamed of "Him".
For a while she knew he was her Prince.
Suddenly, as in a tragic fairytale,
life with him became an unbearable fate.
Alas, just tonight her salvation arrived.
No more will she endure his torture.
By grace his Mother's gift will set her free.
Under his watch slipped into her hand,
a large, shiny apple.
A whisper, "let him take your fruit".
"Child, I know he is his Father's son.
I give you this apple for my own redemption."
"Take it now, if you shall eat it or he,
one way or another you will be set free."
She stands now at the window tempting fate.
In the last moment snatched away and devoured.
Now it is too late, as a smile crosses her face.
The greedy fool got her razorblade in the apple!
Author notes
In the picture you look like Snow White. So I wrote a tragedy in your life. Maybe an explanation for your "apple".
