There once was a woman
So beautiful and kind,
One day in the forest
She found,
A creature so disturbing,
It risked her life
And once it was seen
She fled.
Oh how terrifying it was.
She knew it would cost her
Her life.
So in her escape
She climbed,
Oh she climbed,
And she climbed,
And she climbed some more,
Oh she climbed,
She climbed a tall tower.
She thought she was safe,
She thought she was free,
But little did she know,
Oh how her doom could climb too.
Oh it climbed,
And it climbed,
And it climbed some more,
Oh it climbed,
It climbed the tall tower.
She watched in horror
As death approached
And knew
She had
To hide.
In a desperate act
She hid in a closet
Listening so closely.
She hid for what seemed
Like hours
But heard not a sound outside,
Unsure if it was safe,
She waited a bit more,
Enough to hear the sounds
Of a fight.
When the sounds stopped,
She listened well.
Friend or foe?
She couldn't tell.
Knowing either way,
Death was likely
She took the better chance,
In an act of bravery
She came out for a glance.
Oh how she was surprised.
Instead of a monster,
In her path
There stood her prince charming.
He may not have been,
Much of a prince,
But to her
That didn't matter.
To her,
He was not just,
A man
He was her hero
Her savior
Her knight
From there,
Their story began,
As they met in that tower
Each night.
Then,
Tragedy hit.
And it hit hard.
The woman made her way
Into the tower,
To meet with her beloved.
But there she found,
His mangled corpse
Drowning in a pool of
blood.
Oh how she grieved,
And she grieved,
And she grieved some more.
Oh she grieved upon that
Tall, twisted, tower
That next morning,
A man passed by.
As he glanced,
He saw a figure.
Coming close,
He was appalled.
There she laid,
A broken body
Below that
Tall, twisted, tower.
And no one knows
The true story.
Was she pushed?
Was she shoved?
Did she slip and fall?
Or perhaps?
The pain in her heart
Was too much to bear
And she had,
To make,
It stop.
