Princess (Free verse) by TLRufener
Your family loves you
Your subjects adore you
And everyone knows your name
You are always at court
Or dress like a queen
Every day passes just the same
Ball after ball
In your extravagant gowns
Always wearing a smile on your face
All the glittering jewels
All the flowing silks
Accent your unfaltering grace
After the banquets
When the guests
Have gone home for the night
No one sits with you
No one holds your hand
Or tucks you in for the night
The stars shine down
From the sky above
To your lonely window pane
Tears slowly drip down
Your precious cheeks
In your world it only rains
All day long
You play a role
Wondering when it will end
All night long
You cry alone
Then wake and repeat your play again.
