...A long time ago
I created a man in my head
Someone so beautiful and kind
Someone so magical and warm
He was my prince
And I'd visit him every night
To speak and lay
With him I was unafraid and
and no longer alone
But one day
I met someone
who I thought was him
or at least it looked like him
was he the Odile
to my Odette?
I don't know
and part of me didn't care
We laughed and loved
and overtime
he became my prince
_______________________________
...I think...
he's gone now
and I have no other option
than to return to the Prince
I've kept inside
but I don't even know
how to build him back
his face seems smudged
and his eyes so dull
maybe in time he'll reemerge
so clear and bright
so strong and knowing
atop his horse
with a face so open
and a breath so ready
to love...
