You were a Princess
...a real life fairytale.
You only demanded
the ordinary things
a heroine in your position
would ask for.
So I slayed your dragons
cut through bewitched
tangles of thorns
& kissed you awake.
You realised I was not
a handsome Prince
But some old slob
willing to do the job.
“Eh...that’s great”
you kindly said.
“Now...kill yourself.”
And foolishly
...I obeyed.
