by Delfina Amaya I did use to believe in fairy tales
A handsome prince, both young and scared
Rescues the girl from the dragons scales
The girl now knew he loved her, he cared.
For he was everything, the skies, the Earth
The world did nothing but spin with no sense
Love was a sapling, a brand new birth
Birth of the thing he filled with his scent
But fairytales do have dragons and beasts
He used to love her, left her for a feast
She will not be rescued nor saved
Something she could not give him he craved
Fairytales today have no damsels in distress
Girls make their own choices, they won't take any less.
