The Lonely Prince
By: SadieKamas09
There once was a Prince
Who sat down by the river.
Waiting for his bride,
His bones began to shiver.
To his shock, he saw her face
Floating under the water,
Wearing her bridal gown
And pregnant with his daughter.
She smiled and she spoke,
Saying, "Don't worry, my dear,
Everything is all right,
Just come close and near."
He leaned his head down,
But slipped and dove right in.
He cared not of his mistake,
Simply wanted to see her grin.
Unable to see her,
He dove deeper and deeper.
But as he dove, he realized
His distance grew steeper.
He covered his nose, for he knew
That his lungs were losing breath.
And within seconds, he succumbed
To his untimely death.
As he floated, lifelessly,
A maiden held him dear.
It was his bride, and she just faced
Her gruesome, unwanted fear.
She held him close, her eyes teared up.
Her soul filled with sorrow.
For he did not know it at the time
That her reflection, he did follow.
