No longer a princess

Don't leave, don't leave me
my words try to wrap themselves
around your ankles

An attempt to pull you back into my arms

No I won't cry,
I refused to waste more tear
on your disappearing silhouette

A flimsy decision to save my tattered pride

Someday...your voice echoes
in the vast space of my brain
We will meet again...

A loosely fabricated lie to make the scars fade

My heart lurches right out of my chest
leaving bloody footprints on the floor
a emptiness I cannot contain.

A fantasy's castle crumbles to the ground

Gingerly picking up the pieces
of the broken tiara, carelessly stepped on
collapsing along with my lungs

No longer am I Daddy's princess, I am nothing at all
