another fairytale
about a damsel in distress
and the knight who couldn't save her
she is trapped high in a tower
surrounded by a moat
her tresses are not long enough
for the knight to use as rope
lovingly she watches
longingly she waits
yearningly she ponders
what will be her fate
hope now quickly leaves her
as the knight initiates retreat
the happily ever after
this time is not to be
