Fairy Tale

By: Marianela Soza

Let me tell about you a damsel

Though I can't say she was in distress

For she was good in everything

Except her heart which was a mess

For every time she tried to love

A boy would make her heart a mess

She tried several times

And yet she couldn't find the best

So she decided to give up

For many months at a time

And this would seemingly be the end

Of a tragic tale of mine

Yet there is a special twist:

While she was looking for a horse to ride

Her eyes stopped at a handsome prince

Dressed in black armor and dragon hide

He gave her a charming smile

Then he offered her his hand

"Would you come upon this horse with me?"

And travel to another land?"

She thought

It was a mere dream

But still curtsied and said "Ofcourse"

And she took the handsome stranger's hand

And got upon the auburn horse

As they traveled she mused silently

And said "It's just too good to be true

Are you sure that you are noble?

And you won't break my heart too?"

He looked back at her smiling

And chuckling, shaking his head

He said "Dear Princess, you can trust me

This is a fairy tale soon to be read"

She put her heart in his hand

As she had done many times before

But this time it wasn't handed back it in peaces

He returned it bigger than before

For when they arrived in their destination

He led her down and took her hand

He told her "This is the land you've always dreamed of

And now it is yours, This is your land"

She searched his eyes for an explination

And soon found what she was looking for

He said "I doubt you remember me,

But I'm the little boy from next door

The one who played with you in the sand

Is here to make sure you don't get your heart broken anymore"

She smiled greatfully

Not believing what she could see

"It's every boy from before

Offering an apology"

Each great boy from before

Stood there, saying they were sorry

Telling her they'd take her back

put her heart together and make her merry

She simply shook her head

And began her wise words

"I know I once loved you

But dont be absurd

The one that I love is now in my hand

The one that made this faraway land

Without asking for anything he mended my wounds

This man is the one I shall take to my tomb!!"

The men cheered

Accepting her and their fate

They soon accepted that it was too late

So dear girls, listen to me

And my own wise words

When your own heart is broken, do not be absurd

A boy will come around and will capture your heart

I can assure your heart won't be apart

So for now, just focus on you and yourself

And don't let your feelings be bunched on a shelf

The day will come, and you will love and be loved

So for now, smell the roses

And stare at the doves

Because soon your prince will come, and from there and thereafter

I'll send you on your carraige, and you'll live happily ever after.
