The Princess gave her last command
While carrying her broken soul in hand.
Dressed her heart in charcoal black
And fought the tears of sadness back.
Then throwing off her golden crown
Shredding layers from her velvet gown.
Her sanctuary gates lay open wide
So in desperation she stepped outside.
Down on knees, head raised up high
Her sorrow screamed to the ember sky.
Her words escaped like birds in flight
As she called upon her Prince of light.
Then waited there by the waterside
Though she knew inside that he had lied.
For when the darkness provoked her fear
Her prince of light was never near.
With bitter pain so hard to bear
Frustration turned into deep despair.
In silent prayer she knelt down to bow
For the Prince of light had broke his vow.
The stars and moon both turned opaque
As she walked head on into the lake.
His name hung on her dying breath
As the reaper threw his shroud of death.
