A cold wind blows the trees, <br />Shadows blacken the sky. <br />There's a falling of Autumn leaves. <br />The princess lies down to cry. <br /> <br />She waits in a castle dark, <br />Where the sun can never shine. <br />She recalls a fire of sparks. <br />Relives a taste of wine. <br /> <br />They watched the flowers grow. <br />They witnessed the sea roll past, <br />But then he had to go... <br />And she is alone at last. <br /> <br />They made the world their own. <br />They created a destiny, <br />But they shall always be alone. <br />True love is but a fantasy. <br /> <br />As she waits for a glimpse of him, <br />She remembers how it used to be. <br />Although her chances are very slim, <br />She prays for what could be. <br /> <br />Inside her deepest heart, <br />She recalls the words he must never hear, <br />That living without him, <br />Is her greatest and deepest fear. <br /> <br />She thinks of him with admiration, <br />For bravely he has shielded her of pain. <br />He was her first and only love... <br />Now her life is clouded by rain. <br /> <br />She thinks of all the special times, <br />When they swam together side by side, <br />And the stars glowed so bright, <br />In the dark sky so wide. <br /> <br />Memories of their laughter, <br />Still lingers in the trees, <br />Where clear blue water flows, <br />Upon the restless, stormy seas. <br /> <br />Alone in the serene twilight, <br />The princess sits to reminisce, <br />To think of every moment, <br />To recall every kiss. <br /> <br />If only he had known, <br />Before he had said good-bye, <br />That lost without his love, <br />The princess shall forever cry. <br /> <br />And if only he had known, <br />He had left a part of himself behind, <br />In a little son so like his father, <br />Who will revive the sun to shine.<br /><br />Lesa MRK<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alone-in-a-castle-part-two/
