The Princess Bride
He came in the night
Hearing the wish you did plead
Your knight in shining armor
High atop his white steed
His armor did shine
With a pleasing white light
As visions of hope
Filled the lonely dark night
Features so striking
But gentle and smooth
The warmth of his smile
Of his gallantry it did prove
He vowed to protect you
To vanquish any foe
His loyalty and honor
Unlike any you’ll ever know
Your wish had been granted
And your plea had been heard
To think it’s all a dream
At this point would be absurd
You took his strong hand
And he swept you away
Bold and flamboyant
In that old world way
You’re now his fairytale princess
But his love on you he did not shower
Trapped like the poor maiden
Who had been locked in the tower
Unhappily ever after
Nor a storybook life
You fell for his facade
And now you’re his wife
He protects by controlling
He’s violent and cruel
To believe in real life fairytales
Has made you look like a fool
So be careful what you wish for
Sometime they may come true
But they may not always turn out
How you expect or want them to…
