Princess Poem by Rebecca Pepper

Sweet lips, petal soft, rose red
Two turtle doves, the lies you said
Sea blue eyes, caring and sharing
Coal black heart, such a strange pairing

Whispered lies, broken ties, its all the same
When can we stop playing this game?
Hands that hold but a burning love so cold
Nothing is as it seems or so I've been told

Fashion and passion both need money
So bleed the only way you can honey
You can fall in love after the ceremony
Where's my prince on his golden pony?

They said that once the rings were worn
Our fortune and fame would be born
Sweet words to a foolish princess
Shame there was no pea in this test

Gold, silver, ruby, material objects
Are the only affections I can get
You held no emotion for my life
When you promised me the world and made me your wife
