0444

the dungeon holds her from an untold truth,
so long ago to not remember her youth,
her face so thin being fed scraps of waste,
identification lost as all traces erased,
pieces of sunlight give her some hope,
as she outlasted the chains and rope,
her skin joined and rusted the metal rings,
the captors forgot her along with other things,
touching the rusted door with her rough hands,
seeing in the next room as another stands,
a sad face as he was trapped not as long,
she remembers one thing that she was imprisoned wrong,
learning to walk in strides once more,
she finds the key to his chains behind the door,
unlocking him from the binds that hold,
they walk past the stacks of hidden gold,
seeing an opening at the end of the way,
he pushes through and out into the day,
into the garden and right to a crowd,
the people there scream very loud,
a wedding held with a question asked too,
as the princess was about to say 'I do',
to her surprise it was her true love come back,
told by the current groom he died in an attack,
looking over to the woman at his side,
she being her mother also revealing they lied,
the princess hugs them not worried about her dress,
as she turns back to the groom to make him confess,
she doesn't order his death or let him go,
he is now locked in the dungeon so no body will know.
