Cinderella

Dressed in blue
         with a gorgeous smile,
She came as a guest in the ball.
Charming Prince,
                 bound by her spell,
Kissed her hand, amongst all.


As she danced
                  with passion in heart,
The heels kept her feet to the ground.
He held her tight
                    with a ring in his hand.
She could hear her heart pound.


A glance at the clock,
                     the magic was gone,
She started to run in a hurry.

She bid him adieu,
                     but he chased her through.
His charms began to look all scary.


As she ran,
                    with a quest to be free,
She left her shoes on the stairs.
Search was ordered.
                      Soldiers were sent,
To hunt down the feet for the pairs.


Crowned as Prince,
                      with whims of love,
He brought her back to the palace.
Draped in jewels,
                      with dreams crushed,
Cinderella lives her captive days.
