In this story there isn't a beginning

                or an end.

                        This is

                   the story of a once forgotten train of thought,

             the one that really

       would have saved us the trouble

                 of trying to find another way to live.

                         The princess fell through the only hole

              in the floor, a broken

                       heart that I tried to patch.

                                        Do you remember that one time

                  where we rode on the wind?

   The working model of a perfect couple.

Sometimes I dream at night that

           we somehow

                                (somehow)

    made it all work out.

          But that couldn't happen because I

                      was too sad

               and you were too blind.

      Did you ever

           see me in that tiny hole?

                   The princess that fell and collapsed

                                       when she needed a prince the most.

                                             You weren't it,

                                 but that's alright.

                         I wasn't the princess.


an original poem where I was playing with Richard Siken's style of writing.
