Solitude

She is alone.
Always searching
for someone to save
her from the silence
that is her suffering. Her prince
will come someday.

Yes, someday
she won't be alone
anymore. Her prince
will end her search
and from the silence
she will be forever saved.

But she needs him to save
her soon. "Someday"
can't get here fast enough. She's suffered in silence
far too long. She's spent too much time alone.
Her search
has taken too much time. She wants her prince.

Her knight, her stunning prince,
needs to come and save
her NOW. He must end his search--
and quickly, because someday
soon it could be too late. Maybe she'll grow accustomed to being alone
and she'll want to continue to suffer in silence.

She wants to be silent
no longer. She wants her prince
to wake her up from this feeling of being always alone;
she needs him to save
her. Because someday
she wants him to stop searching.

But his search
goes on as she remains silent;
her "someday"
has not yet arrived. Her prince
is still far away. He won't be here to save
her any time soon. She'll always be alone.

Her knight will come someday and end his search.
She will no longer be alone and her voice will not be silenced.
She will cry out to her prince, "I am saved!"
