Princess

I saw you ride upon your horse so white
Shielding my eyes from the armor
that reflected the sunlight

You said "come with me Mi Lady
for I will show you lands
that others have never seen

Ride with me into the sunset
where only lovers play

As the moon does rise so will our love
and the stars up in the sky"

I took a deep breath
as my breast begin to swell
Drowning in your eyes
like pools of darkness
the black hole that pulls you in
where lovers stay for eternity

Taken by your words so smooth
they remind me of years ago
when men did not lie
They held honor with their words
and for their love willing to die

Embraced by your smile
you swept me away
the damsel in distress
what pride it must bring

She awaits for you
sits along the water front
the river of her tears
and gazing into the land

The dreams and hopes she's held for years
fall through her finger tips
like grains sand


Who are you fooling?
I am no princess!
