Cinderella and Prince SomethingA Poem by G!oThe minute finger was echoing in her dark hope Reminding her she was one of them at the bus stop The ride of her life time assured of no return Shivering in the arms of pain under her blanket At fourteen, terminated and to be erased
She closed her eyes, counted her departing dreams Every girl was usually rescued by her knight Her mom found her dad and her sister, a boyfriend She guessed her knight must’ve gotten lazy to armor up At fourteen, she had never kissed a boy
She heard a mild, nervous yet a beautiful voice She didn’t open her eyes for she knew it was a trance With dashing hopes she hoped it was her chance To be rescued and for once feel an embrace of a boy At fourteenth count she opened her eyes to a beauty
He was sixteen with blue eyes that outstood his bland skin With a frozen smile he told her she was beautiful Strangest word from a stranger yet familiar from the family I see Horoscope lied when it said cancers can’t love each other At fourteen, she finally felt she belonged to this world
She became a Cinderella and he was prince something He took her to two dates and a masquerade party While others were clothed as monsters and princesses They went as two leukemia patients with no deceit At sixteen minutes to midnight she finally had her first kiss
After her first kiss she never heard again from him She got angry when she thought she wasn’t cute in bald Or maybe her lips had a savor of blood she had puked Or maybe it was midnight and she outgrew her shoes At fourteen, she had sixteen minutes of love
An ocean once serene turned to a sad song The only tune she knew ended before her first dance Others hated life while to them life was a riddle It was something in his smile that gave her strength It was his smile that made her live fourteen minutes longer
Her silence bled regrets of joy she robbed her family She was worried of watching them troubled by her So she asked for one last sunset to kiss her goodbye So she asked for one last sunset to kiss her welcome Fourteen and sixteen dead but with beating hearts
Four minutes away still your tongues reading this Three minutes away she smiled hopelessly Two minutes away she hugged her family A minute away she hugged her prince’s absence No minute away she found him waiting for her
He said to me, “You leave while we wait.” She said to me, “You live while we fade.” ©g!o.inked © 2012 G!oAuthor's Note
