The princess Bride

notapoet

He came in the night

Hearing the wish you did plead

Your knight in shining armor

High atop his white steed

 

His armor did shine

With a pleasing white light

As visions of hope

Filled the lonely dark night

 

Features so striking

But gentle and smooth

The warmth of his smile

Of his gallantry it did prove

 

He vowed to protect you

To vanquish any foe

His loyalty and honor

Unlike any you’ll ever know

 

Your wish had been granted

And your plea had been heard

To think it’s all a dream

At this point would be absurd

 

You took his strong hand

And he swept you away

Bold and flamboyant

In that old world way

 

You’re now his fairytale princess

But his love on you he did not shower

Trapped like the poor maiden

Who had been locked in a tower  

 

Unhappily ever after

You now live a storybook life

You fell for his facade

And now you’re his prisoner and wife

 

He protects by controlling

He’s violent and cruel

To believe in real life fairytales

Has made you look like a fool

 

So be careful what you wish for

Sometime they may come true

But they may not always turn out

How you expect or want them to

    Like the surprise ending, from knight in shining armor to worse nightmare. Unfortunately so true of real life.
