I know a princess,
Trapped in a castle called business
In which a dragon called duty holds her hostage.

And if I was the knight, I claim to be
I’d rescue her from her misery
But I know that I couldn’t.

                                                       I know a boy with silver hair,
                                                            And eyes like the darkened moon.
                                                            And all the air evaporates
                                                            When I see him across a crowded room.


Her hair is like a waterfall of flame,
There’s a symphony hidden inside her name.
There’s a way that she looks at me

When I have done something wrong
That makes me feel strong
If only because she worried.

                                                           We have faced off against the end
                                                                 And ventured the unreal
                                                                Cold metal grasped in both hands
                                                                 But your presence is what I feel.


And sometimes I see the places we used to go
And talk to the people we use to know
And I wonder

If I had a dollar or two
Everytime I missed you
Could I buy your freedom?

                                                        The maze we ran through every night
                                                             Was less confusing than real life
                                                             But I have a dying wish to honour
                                                             And that cuts me like a knife.


Graduation has come and gone.
And so have you.

                                         Sometimes I wish I could
                                              BREAK THE RULES
                                              Instead of MY OWN HEART and run to the last place I saw you
                                              And you will still be there waiting
                                              I will run to you and go to speak
                                              But
                                              We will have nothing to say because you have already told me


                           "I love you"

                                                 Every night in my dreams.

A late birthday present for ~ToonMasta because although I don't think poetry is my strongest point, it's a damn sight better than my drawings or fanfictions. This should technically be in the fanfiction catergory but I like to think it can be open to intepretation.

I apologize in advance for any brain asplosions but personally I like some of the imagery. And i hope you do too, Minty.

Oh. My. Word. You deserve the biggest hug of the century! Poetry makes me happy. When I saw the thumbnail in my inbox I saw the words "princess" and "duty" and immediately knew who this was about.

It's not that late, really. I'm still celebrating my birthday at a friend's house.

Ooooohh... I don't know what else to say, but thankyouthankyouthankyou (I wrote that as one word because 1) it's meant to be said fast and 2) the spacebar on my friend's keyboard doesn't like me very much)

I had to do an oral for the Malaysian grandmother thing and that was all. Mrs Bamford worked it out with Mr Nimmo that we don't have to do a poetry one if we get around to doing poetry because as long as we've all done at least one, it should be ok.

My English class is fair cool.
