The Man Of Rumplestiltskin

By

The Sweetest Of Hearts

I see the man inside

He's foolish, has false bravery

But still he loves his darling so

Every time he pushes her away she returns

A naivety in her trusting heart

They're love they thought was strong

But that is not so

he tries, he lies

his darling knows none the wiser

his love is not strong enough

for he loves power more than her.

He knows not how long this travesty of a marriage is going to last

He lied with his proposal

He lied with a straight face

and no deal nor straw spun into Gold can ever mend it
