Prince Charming

ode to my cat whose name was Charming. I had just named him this after reading Snow White and the Seven Dwarves many years ago....so he does exist just not the human one...

Not everyone meets Prince Charming

The only one I knew who loved me true was my cat

It can be alarming

I am not mad

In our love I can only be grateful

I will stay true and faithful

I won't let the world take it, shame it or break it

We can't be tamed

We found a way to kick the cage

Yet I remain unfulfilled when I am not in his embrace

I don't need to be there a long time

Only five minutes and once again I feel divine

Whats the point of the diamond ring? So many kids made for slavery working

I don't need a silly rock

What is the point of vows now?

Even the ones he made to her can't make us stop

I don't feel proud of what we have done

All I can say is I fell in love

I don't feel this way when I hold another hand

I don't feel this way when I talk to a new man

I don't know how to make even my brain understand

All i know is not everyone meets Prince Charming

Sometimes you get Mr. Right now. Mr. Something else

Sometimes he knows how to play the game so well you are trapped under a spell

Sometimes he pimps the girls out and makes them believe this sex life is swell

Sometimes they rape them young behind doubt and closed doors

Sometimes they come in priest robes and nominees for the U.S. Supreme Court

Sometimes they are the President but he doesn't represent like the one before

All I can tell you that the Prince Charming is just a fairy tale

Today he is non existent and the truth is a white shade of pale

I sit here because there is no where to go

I could go to a bar but will it heal this jaded heart

I could go to the club but is that the path to true love

Even Halle Berry and Heidi Klum lose a a man they thought was cool

Tell me have you seen Prince Charming?

Sometimes he wears a mask

Now we are too confusing and the butterflies leave us feeling alarming

I don't know what to do

I just need to relax

I can't get him back. I can't make him stay. I can't find someone new. When I am still making love with you

Are you Prince Charming? Do you feel anything true?

My cat is the only one I ever knew
