I never expected you to take me away,
although I deserve it, I gave you my soul;
Met you while you still wore a mask of a smile,
and when you captured my lips I took your breath gladly;
a poison that still burns, caustic, within me;
If only that damned shoe hadn't fit.
I wish I'd been fortunate enough to be cursed;
to let briars tangle in my hair,
gather while I remain lost in dreams.
At least then that kiss may never have come,
for I doubt you would endanger yourself just to capture me;
and I'd rather slowly rot among the roses than at your hand.
Your last bride, if I had, quite simply put,
found myself in her shoes;
Perhaps things would have changed,
Though I know I still would've heard your call;
that charming voice you painted so sweet,
bringing my name to your lips as a treasure.
But the distance between us may have given me pause;
the moment to think, all that it would take,
and with scissors at the ready
I could have given you my hair,
and kept the all the rest of me.
But I was Cinderella.
So now, dressed in this bridal gown,
I hide the tears;
not a proper accessory,
And wear that smiling mask you gave me,
the one you see right through;
enjoying the pain in my eyes
as you clench my heart a little tighter.
Author notes
This kind of rambled and got away with itself. I like it though.

I disagree with the person below me. I quite like it. So there. I actually like the middle stanza the best. To me, it has the most imagery and is very pretty.

In the begining, it starts off very well. In fact, it was actually very well written. But towards the middle, you kind of lost my interest. All the same, thanks for entering and good luck!
