Dancing Dungeon

The tragic side of Cinderella's marvelous trip to the ball. Inspired by AdarkMay's story entitled "Midnight". Enjoy the twist!

Outside she hears the doomed clock's chime
She frantically whispers, "I'm out of time!"
Running, running, running; it's all she can do
To escape the fate of evil times two

She trips over herself; that pretty white slipper
It stays behind, she discovers with a whimper
That dark-eyed Prince Charming sees all but the shoe
But she knows the truth and goes on with virtue

Darling Cinderella, she does knows the truth
She knows if she stays, her mind will go POOF
All she'll do anymore, to say,
Is dance her feet off in a most peculiar way

You see, in the Prince's lavish ball of dance
That's all the trapped people do- they prance
They can't help it; they're under a spell
But even they can no longer tell

Cinderella, however, knows what goes
She never wants to enter its woes
Her pale blonde hair trails behind her
As she escapes the dungeon that will remember

Author's Note

Look to AdarkMay's story entitled "Midnight" for my inspiration. It'll make more sense.
