be my prince

Because every princess needs her prince.

be my prince
be my prince?
i'll be
your princess,
for too
long i've languished under
the weight of the
dragons i've slain,
and those yet to be
slaughtered
whose fangs seem sharper than i
can face;
a second pair of swords
wouldn't
pollute the field any
there's already so much stained glass
windows of my heart
growing in these
wildflowers
i'll cook and clean for you
dance in sunlit pools
with you by my
side;
watch anime with you,
bear your children
hold you forever in my arms
i don't need a fairytale because those
never come true
not in our universe, at least,
all i need is for you
to help me carry the pain and to give me
enough sweet to drown out the bitter "
be my rat king
i'll break your curse
with a flood of my love
our friendship will be etched into the back of stars,
and you'll paint words on my lips i could no
longer remember
so spare me the distance so many men
have etched between me and them
let me flow a river into your
soul, and
flow into me;
let us become one soul beating
our melody in the
wings of dragonflies.
