can you see the love in my eyes my prince

the way you smile and laugh

oh those dimples

make my heart skip a 

beat

and in this world of rape and ruin

you bow to ask for a dance

and kiss my hand farewell

you're the first man i've known to be

gentle

kind

loving

the first who's known my scars 

and still called me beautiful

but you like size five feet

so i'll clench my teeth and bear the pain

cut off a toe or two

maybe even my heel

stain my shoes brilliant red 

with my love for you

love me back

please

yet you don't care what i say or do

or how willing i am to change

because that glass slipper was never

meant to be mine
