It seemed like forever since he had last seen her face.
Hours had turned into days, days turning into weeks.
What was wrong, nothing like this had ever happened before.
Lost in his own rejection, he fears the worse to come.
For this life to him is nothing without her.
Time would stand still if he was outside of her palace of love.
Mistakes of a past life haunts him till this very day.

Though she still loves him, she is afraid of what will come.
Her life, her love and her faith is to pure to waste it on a petty man like him.
But she feels something deep inside of her, not knowing what it is she ignores it.

As time goes on, years pass by, he is still plagued by her memory.
Drugged himself down the pathway to exiting life itself.
He will never be the same without her so he decides to end it all.

When she realizes what was inside of her this whole time.
It is to late to undo what has been done, her deeds left a mark.
Now she truly knows what its like to be left alone in a world such as this.
No one to share her love in this palace she calls home.
No where left to turn, she decides to not to end it all but torture herself everyday.

On her death bed a stranger walks in, to weak to open her eyes she asks who is there.
"I am the one that you let go all those years ago" To her surprise he never killed himself.
But ended his love for what she was but never stopped loving what she will always be,
His broken princess with torn and tattered dresses, death black roses all about.

With this she said her last words             " I love you..."

For now she will never be able to explain what she had done for him.
But he had already known what was done for he had done the same.
Forever and always this man will be left alone, left to wonder if his love was right or not.
Never forgetting that he truly loved this girl for the real reasons of life.

As he sits under the rotten dead oak tree, his head in his hands, crying like he had never cried before.
The sad truth is realized that there was never really a broken princess.
His entire life was a lie until this point, but this never made this now old man ever stop loving this girl of his dreams.
For he now knows he is the broken prince.....
