It's Hard to please a Princess... (Especially Mine...)
It’s hard to please a princess...
No matter how much you try,
Nothing seems to be enough...
You live to make her happy...
But it’s YOU she has a problem with...
“Look at your clothes! They simply won’t do!”
As she glares at the rags upon your back in disgust...
You struggle to follow the mile long list of demands she has upon you...
Yet, you find nothing wrong with her icy glance...
You feel a sense of freedom...
When you are trapped by a leash...
Every move you make is followed by an unblinking eye...
Every word you say is frowned upon...
Every gesture every compliment every sign of love is ignored and dismissed...
It’s hard to please a princess...
When suitors walk in every day...
When her eyes are on anyone and everyone else...
When you feel like you could be replaced at any moment...
And the fear of losing her drowns you until you’re numb...
You miss the days passed... When her heart belonged to you...
When you were her sunrise and sunset... When you were the world to her...
It feels like those days are gone... and never coming back...
It’s hard to please a princess... when everything you try to do right...
Ends up being wrong...
When “I love you.” brings frustration instead of joy.
When your feelings are thrown back at you...
When you lose your place in her heart...
And become another face in the ever growing crowd...
It’s hard to please a princess...
When she scorns you for your flaws...
Yet you neither speak nor care of hers...
When the closer you are to her...
The more she pushes away...
When the more you are together...
The more of a nuisance you become...
When all you want to do is be with her...
And all she wants is to be away from you...
It’s hard to please a princess...
But when you finally do...
And you see that twinkle in her eyes that you thought was lost forever...
When at long last you hold her in your arms again...
When you feel her soft lips pressed against yours...
And when “I love you...” makes her eyes water instead of roll...
Nothing else matters...
All troubles, all burdens, all the doubts in your mine cease to exist...
Time fades... and at last you feel the warmth that was locked away...
At last you hold her love in your hands...
At last you are her prince...
