The Fallen Prince's Lament
a poem about identity and relationship
Every prince must have his princess
One must be saved to be set free
If it's the prince who does the rescue
Then what are you to me
If the prince is locked in the tower
Does the princess scale the wall
If he refuses to trust his lover
Will the two of them then fall
When the prince has lost his kingdom
Will the princess come behind
Will she follow in his footsteps
Is it love that keeps her kind
If I take a breath and follow
Though a princess I can't be
If every prince must have his princess
Then what are you to me?
