Death -- A Dark Fairytale (2006)

Held prisoner in a tower
I waited for you to rescue me
You sent word that you were coming
And I watched through my tiny window

You rode up on your black horse
Wearing beautifully tarnished armor
Coming face-to-face with my captor
An evil dragon, with scales the color of blood

You fought awhile, I’ll admit
But retreated when burned by its fire
You cowered from its mighty breath
And as I cried, you sadly waved
And rode away

I watched with tears flowing down my cheeks
And slept an enchanted slumber
You snuck in another day
When the dragon was away satisfying its hunger

You took me away from the tower
And put me in your dungeon
Where you never ignored me
But tortured me, daily

I bled where you whipped me
Where you drug your sword along my skin
And I cried out in pain
Until I died

Then you asked me, with an accusing tone,
“Why have you left me?
Didn’t you know I loved you?
Don’t you know I rescued you
So you could be free?”

You didn’t know I finally was.
