Our Fairytale...Ch.2

It seems the Prince in this tragic fairytale,
Has lost his way.
The Princess stays inside the cold, castle walls,
Waiting for his return.
She thinks about him every second of every day,
Longing to be in his arms again.
With the time and space the Prince has left her with,
Memories and thoughts crowd her mind.
Everything that escapes her thoughts,
Is a doubt,
Followed by words of hope,
That contradict everything she thinks.
"He won't return,"
"But maybe his heart will persevere and show him the way."
"Maybe he doesn't love me enough to come back,"
"Maybe he loves me so much he's left confused."
"He can't see himself with me anymore,"
"Maybe he's just afraid to admit to himself that he's found that one person."
"What if we've reached the finish line?"
"But what if the race hasn't even started?"
These constant contradictions repeat over and over again.
Is there no end to this madness?
"Come back soon fair Prince..."

In the meanwhile,
The Prince is battling his way through the dark, frightful, fortress of broken hearts.
So many events and people delay his journey back to the Princess,
But mostly his own confusion and doubts.
Fear keeps him from continuing his journey,
And compunction keeps him from loving the Princess.
The Prince also has many contradictions,
But rather the opposite of what the Princess thinks.
His thoughts are of what his heart speaks,
Followed by doubts from his mind.
"I should hurry back to the Princess,"
"But maybe i should take my time."
"She'll be happy if i'm with her,"
"Perhaps i'm not good enough to protect her."
"I love her more than anything,"
"Maybe i'm just caught up in the moment."
"We could make it to the end together,"
"Maybe we should just give up now"
The Prince contemplates on what he wants,
And what he think is best.
"I'm sorry my Princess, please wait for me..."

Perhaps this Prince isn't the Prince Charming he was destined to be in this tragic fairytale,
But the Princess could argue over that.
He's a fool,
But the Princess knows she couldn't love anyone less foolish...
