Make Believe

Once upon a time
there was a lost princess
who could not find
her family or friends
Everywhere she went
were strangers and dangers

She did not know her way home

Until one a day a dark man found her
along the shores of the Rhine
She knew him not
but he called her by name
where her home used to be
and how he planned to kill her

His reasons were his own

She knew he could
and probably would
She did not want to die
once had been enough
Ready to live
she had but one choice

No longer free to roam

Taking the path that had
brought him to her
she returned
across the turbulent waters
the only refuge she knew
to be used as a pawn

They all had much to atone

The princess and
this dark mark
They would meet again
and when that happened
she would be ready
and he would be dead
