The princess's tale.

The princess's tale

She lay shattered, disillusioned, on the floor

As her lover walked out of the door.

There were tears , she let them flow

Were they happy or sad? She did not know.

Was she relieved to be free of possession,

Or whether her love was a mere obsession.

She was a princess who ruled the whole nation,

Yet all she longed for was liberation.

She could have had her lover beheaded; after all she was a princess

How dare he pursue another woman, it was all  a mess.

By now you know, this is not a fairy tale,

So if you want a happy ending, reading this would be an epic fail.

This princess did not want a happily ever after,

She plotted with vengeance; she wanted to punish her lover.

Poison would be the best solution to make her lover suffer.

However , she thought there should be a twist in the plot,

She summoned the “other” lady , they would make him rot.

So one Friday night, they brewed a pot,

Of the deadliest poison they could get their hands on,

So they created a deadly substance which weighed a ton.

And between the two ladies there was a secret bond,

And of each other, they grew very fond.

The “other” lady was cunning and vile,

She put the poison into the pudding with a crooked smile.

The lover fell into a deep sleep,

He learnt his lesson to not treat ladies so cheap.

As for the princess, she found a dream prince,

However if the prince misbehaved,

She would make him disappear in a whiff.

So this is the end of the princess’s story,

I apologize if you found the details too gory.

ah... we sometimes carry that ability to be vengeful... and often only think it and other times act on it. I can see this happening...amazing.. I enjoyed it very much.

This feels more childish, what with the rhyme scheme and with the last line.

It's got a sort of children's tale like feel even though the topic is far off from that.
