Cinderella's Dream

"Come to me, my dear.

For a day is ahead of us being together."

"Oh yes."

It happens everyday.

Every night.

I get to meet a male. 

Who makes me happy.

Who makes me feel as though I am special.

We run through the garden and through the castle.

We greet the King with his many people about.

We dance for a long time in the ballroom.

Sadly, this journey will end. 

Very soon, I will not be holding his hand.

Very soon, I will not be able to see the delightful people of the kingdom.

Very soon, my beautiful gown will disappear.

After being with him, I open my eyes.

To see nothing, but blankets and pillows.

Nothing, but the journey I have to begin, alone.
