Laying next to him as he sleeps, I watch his breathing patterns. With each inhale I am reminded of every thing I have ever done for him and each exhale reflects the things I only wish he would do in return. I remember that this stranger in slumber next to me has his hand buried deep within my body, my lifelessness apparent by the weight burdened

once upon a time there was a princess who lived in a mighty kingdom. This princess wasn't your ordinary princess in that she thought very poorly of herself.. even though she was an incredibly intelligent, and beautiful princess. One day a prince from across the distant ocean of pestilence called upon her. from atop her balcony she whispered down to him, "why great prince have you called to me from outside this window?" the prince gently called back. "i have come for your hand beautful princess, for i have fallen in love with you." the princess stepped back confused as she thought she wasnt good enough for the greatest of princes. the princess gasped amd could only managed to reply in what seemed to be an unsure voice, "But why me great prince, for i am nothing that you deserve. a simple women with little to offer." the prince fearing rejection knelt down on his knee.. "please i beg of you, one chance is all i ask to prove what you say is false. it is you i have crossed the great ocean to see, it is you i have beaten great beasts for, it is you ill cherish until the end of all days. i love you princess." the princess turned away for she feared love, she feared letting go of all and opening herself up the world. shed rather stay in her tower behind stone walls for she knew that was safe and that was where she stayed until the end of her days. the prince gathered his broken heart and crossed the great ocean once more.. as his ship faded away into the mist of the sunset, the princess shed one single tear, for she knew she had made a mistake...

Princes never come. If they do, it is to make fun of me. However, since this is a fairy tale...

The princess turned away for she feared love, she feared letting go of all and opening herself up the world. All that she had ever wanted was before her. With tears welling in her deep pools, she faced the prince and asked him if he believed in good people. "Why, yes, I suppose so," he replied. The princess explained to him how she, too, believed in good people once. She told him about the other princes who tried to work wizardry on her. "I fell at their feet, a victim to their evil magic," she now cried. "Those men, too, had told me that they loved me. Through this, their cruel actions showed that dirty wretched lies oozed from their mouths each time they spoke the three foul words." As her shoulders shook the prince began to scale the tower where she was locked away. At the top, the timid princess watched as he cautiously removed his armor on her balcony. In one sweeping move, he took the princess in his arms and held her close to his body. She wept. She wept with the strange limbs surrounding her, rendering her struggling useless. She wept until the sun rose, and all the while standing, much less rigidly, encircled by a new kind of lightness. She embraced her embracer and after a moment she was freed from his grasp. "Do you believe in good people?" the prince asked. "You are the only truth I recognize for miles. Here, with my head on your open chest, I have a renewed faith in our kind," she cooed. So the prince led his princess inside her castle and secured the door. He slayed the ghosts that she carried on her back, relieving twenty years of painful memories.
