There was once a girl with the grimmest tale
A girl who loved to no avail
She loved the one whom she called a friend-
a friend who brought her to meet her end

He locked her away in a tower above
far from all she held dear and loved
Only then would her pain be great
Alone in her prison with herself to hate

A fool she was, to place her life in his hands
for he was the cruelest in all the lands
He hid his own heart on the highest shelf
As for hers, he kept for himself

He smothered her when he kissed
He knew it was only he she missed
With lips laced with poison and sin,
he would press them against her tender skin
Her heart would ache when he touched and teased,
and even more so when she was released

She would dance in slippers that cut her feet
and sing till the Nightingale came down and weeped
To please the one who caused her grief,
to see the smile that stole her sleep

Her hair was dark,
dark as her plight
Now her skin was pale as snow
She finally rests on a bed red as blood
From her veins spilled the crimson flow
